Yeah I know multiple ppl in cyber security who are like TikTok isn't a big deal, the data security claims are way overblown. I've heard ppl saying theyre worried about ppl being vulnerable to blackmail over like NSFW stuff they post or whatever, but like having a white supremacist Nazi owning X isn't a blackmail threat somehow?

It's definitely about Palestine and it's definitely about fears of other countries doing what US companies and gov are doing. "How DARE you spy on our citizens! That's OUR job!"
