MODERATORS
People keep making this argument comparing TikTok to American social media companies when talking about data.
What is hard to understand? Americans are fine with other Americans or American companies having their data. Americans are not fine with China having their data.
It is pretty simple.
Okay so China bad, America good?
I'd rather the Chinese government have my data than the US government. The US government has a lot more power over me.
