What is the real threat/worry with China collecting all our data from TikTok?

897 views

Everyone collects our data… Apple, Google, third party apps… everyone. So what is the really concern with China doing it specifically? Everything I have tried to read about this just talks about how China will use it for ads, but that’s what tons of other tech companies are already doing… so why is China owning our data different?

At the bare minimum you’re giving money, power and influence to a genocidal dictator who is currently destroying democracies while building concentration camps. All so we can use an app that has nothing proprietary about it (and is harmful to us especially kids). Tomorrow an American company could be made called TOKTIK and copy just about everything and we wouldn’t have to worry about a ruthless dictator having and selling our data. If you need more justification than that China is constantly stealing patents and technology, we should do the same with TikTok
