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

836 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?

Because companies can’t use this data to threaten or disappear people for daring to criticize the government. The Chinese government routinely does these things, and Chinese law basically mandates that they have access to this data for that purpose.
