I'm not saying otherwise.

in general, though, you're better off with that information being held by a foreign government than by your own

Not when that gov't is a hostile one. And don't pretend its not a hostile gov't.

If we really wanted to kill TikTok, the easiest way to do that would be getting a critical mass of grandmas on it.

Sure they can. Blackmail, extortion, bribery. The Chinese government would stop at nothing to promote it's own interests

okay, fine. they can't do anything to you directly. the things you listed are available to every government though; not just china. if you're not a chinese citizen and you're not in china, you don't need to worry about them actually using that data for anything harmful to you.

Lol this guy really thought tiktok was taking people's info and stuff and went to ask freaking apple and google for help, some of the worse offenders for information collecting and selling off. He might as well ask facebook to do something, they got the cleanest record in that regards.

i like how tiktok gets targeted for spying and collecting data when everything you do on your smartphone/computer/internet connected device is doing the same thing

Only the government gets to decide who gets to spy on their own people. Their only crime is letting people find out that they're being spied on.

Right... this totally doesn't have to do with Republicans being butthurt young TikTok influencers using the app to combat Trump rallies.

Love that I already had all the "Murica bad" people in this thread tagged as CCP cock slurpers.
At least take a cue from your mother country and try to be a little less transparent.

It's probably an exaggeration. But it does explain some of the posts

The multiple posts where people have explained to you the irony that a Republican apart of the FCC asked Google and Apple to pull TikTok from their platforms and stores when Google and Apple are involved in far more nefarious practices than TikTok is.

Just because China has numerous civil rights issues that we can and should criticize does not also mean we need to be scared of the china boogeyman around every corner.

I never said otherwise. I do, however, think the West should be wary of China. I have my opinion on their version of society, and it's not a positive one.

What is "their version of society" and how have you discovered what it is?

You'd be amazed. There are many sources of information that exist outside and independent of gamefaqs.
