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

721 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?

China has nothing like a US bill of rights. They can collect all that data, and if they don’t like what you are saying or what your family is saying, they can use that against you one way or another. They have a network of secret “police” stations in other countries to enforce Chinese law on people they disagree with.

Which is part of the overall problem with China telecom companies building the network infrastructure in many countries.
