It's so silly. Lol like Google can hand over everything to the feds and they can harass you, arrest you for dumb shit, fuck with your family, jobs etc. China can't do much to me over here. Plus if they wanna spy on me they can just see what's already public. I've never seen evidence TikTok actually gathers or sends anything off that Meta/Facebook or Google does. I mean, can't these people run a packet capture program? Jeez. Smartphones are corporate controlled spy devices already, so if you're using one you're already pretty blown. The problem isn't TikTok, or the CCP spying on Americans. It's the spying itself no matter who's doing it. Plus fucking Blackrock owns 40% of Bytedance. We got our hands in everything. Anyone who thinks the US government can be trusted more than China, and lives in the US is insane. Unless you're Chinese and have family over there. Then it's a real problem.

Anyway. Who's more likely to give the feds everything? China or Google. I don't think China will give them shit. It's a moot point anyway because most of US TikTok is handled by servers in the US by a legal US corporation (owned by Bytedance of course). When Blackrock owns 40% though why are we even talking about this stupid shit. It's a distraction from all the companies and gov here in merica' fucking us. The CCP sucks ass, they're horrible, I don't really trust Bytedance with my data, but I don't trust Google either.

I don't get it. Just seems like a bunch of grumpy old millennials. I'd hoped we would be different.
