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?

TikTok just doesn’t have to go through US data brokers.
American companies like meta, google, Amazon, etc. already sell US data to China. And even if the US didn’t allow it, China can still buy it from third parties or scrape it from sites—all three of which they do.
This is not a green light for the US to do nothing, just an observation.
The real issue is not China, but rather data collection. Cut the head off that snake and the US doesn’t have to worry about China, Russia, Iran, etc.
