the US government buying people’s information from data brokers. How is that any different?
Um, isn’t that obvious? The US government accesses information collected by private companies. The Chinese government controls a source of news that is used by billions of people. Those are totally different things.
Sure, TikTok insists they have no ties to the government. But there’s plenty of evidence exposing that as a blatant lie.
Not sure what Meta/Twitter/YouTube have to do with this. Bringing them up is at best a distraction. If you don’t trust them (I don’t, for the record) don’t use those platforms. Simple.
