    That’s a fair point but it would require outlawing YouTube too.

      One at a time, but comparing A to B, because B is also doing bad things doesnt negate nor justify the impact of A, which in this case, i’d say is worse.
      Yes, I believe it is slightly preferable to be under surveillance by an unstable democracy with a history of disregard for other nations laws, than to be monitored by China’s Communist Party, which has previously used such data for oppression and manipulation.

      Though i agree and would make, if possible, both responsible for their actions and control over others. And here it also seems, there is more control over the big sea than in Asia, making one marginally better than theother.

        Do you truly believe that Google, Meta or other tech giants are not selling your data to CCP if TikTok can supposedly get away with this?

          Probably depends on who can force who to which extend and gain how much.
          I’d argue the US still has the most control, may that be good or bad…

          I dont want my data with any of them, so i prefer smaller alternatives, designed to be more secure, but probably also more of a hassle if stuff breaks…
          Sadly these giants probably still get plenty of data because they control most of the internet.
