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?

>What is the real threat/worry with China collecting all our data from TikTok?
The biggest threat from TikTok is not the data collection but rather the wholesale manipulation of the social zeitgeist via the video feed algorithm. For example, encouraging kids to vandalise bathrooms via letting/causing it to become a trend – there is no way the Chinese government would let TikTok cause anything that in China (and they don’t).
