The video sharing app faces being banned in the US unless it severs ties with its China's ByteDance.

    I mean let’s be honest, that’s slightly better than US companies plus the Chinese Communist Party being able to do so.

      It’s obviously more of a problem when a government that actually has agency over you harvests your data. If you can’t even understand this, then you’re truly lost.

        TikTok enacted a very obvious influence campaign to fight this legislation that resulted in congressional phone lines becoming jammed. So what China can do is directly influence our laws.

        Because your government can use the information against you while a government on the other side of the planet can’t.

          Used to be true. See countries affecting populations in foreign countries. Propaganda is not local.
