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

885 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 a social ranking system that they use. They monitor basically everything their citizens do, and the score that they get can determine things like job or school opportunities, internet speed, and whether or not you are allowed to own a pet. They could feasibly (and likely are) building social profiles for foreigners as well.
