But the data is sent to China for them to analyze and create models of citizen movement, influencing forgein citizens by deciding what content they see.
Yes. A government is ok with tracking their own citizens. But don’t want other governments to track their citizens.
crazy i wonder why the infinity racists amerikkkans decided to start with the platform that is mildly associated with china. surely it has nothing to do with their with the fact that they are most racists people on earth.
They do not have significant power over companies NOT based in their country.
Yes, they do? If those companies want to maintain a presence in the US that is. All those US based companies have to comply with the GDPR or withdraw from counties within the EU. Considering how much their shareholders like money and how many users are in the EU the latter is not a real option here.
us gov IS controlled by us corps they banned tiktok to get rid of competition. with the ever green excuse in amerikkkan politics of appealing to racism
even IF it was true why would u give a shit about a foreign government having ur data, then assholes that are gonna swat u or kidnap u into an unlabeled van arent gonna be foreign they dont fucking care its gonna be ur government doing that shit.
The US government doesn’t want an adversary government to have the data of its citizens (because of varios reasons, including mass manipulation for example). They would of course have no issue with having that data themselves though (also because then they would be more in control over how the data is handled).
You think the problem with tiktok was that it was simply made in China?
Not the fact that it collected vast amount of data from everyone?
And here’s a friendly reminder that Lenovo has had their very fair share of problems regarding security and data collection too.
So it works exactly like every other social media app, but made in… China?

and now you understand how the rest of the world feels about US media
I’m not American. Nor would I pretend to know how “the rest of he world” feels or speak for all of them.
Where did I suggest you were an American?
collecting vast amount of data ? facebook does that too and instagram and google and who knows what else
Yes, we should ban all those, too. Or just enforce EU style privacy laws in America.

Yes. But the US can control US based companies, and create laws regarding how that data is used. They can’t control a chineese one.
Do you understand how the US government might think it’s a problem that foreign countries get access to every step their citizens take?
Does that matter if they don’t create said laws - since they’re equally interested in their citizens data as facebook, google, etc. are?
It does matter. Because the US can do it if they decide to. They have significant power over companies based in their country.

Sure buddy. And 9/11 was an inside job and airplanes are spreading chem-trails to control the population and weather too.
imagine thinking the amerikkkan politicians dont serve corporations.
Serving and being controlled are two different things. Make up your mind. Which is is it?
its the same thing.
No. You can serve without being controlled. And you can be controlled without serving.
The waitress is serving me but they’re not being controlled. It’s something they choose to do.
And you can be controlled in what you say and so, without serving. E.g. a prisoner.
So no. They’re not the same.
But not for a foreign government (from their perspective).
Why not? Half of them will sell to the highest bidder
