Some people think it's very bad that a foreign government can just request Tiktok's data there gathering on their users, and they just have to comply. They're okay with the US government doing it with insta, snapchat, Facebook, etc, however. And they're okay with those US companies selling that data on an open market indiscriminately, even if the buyer is a company affiliated with the Chinese government.

So, uh, all those companies are security risks, because they all monitor personal data invasively, and handle it poorly. People are mostly mad at Tiktok, cause it's Chinese.

Well, and the fact that China used is part ownership of Zoom to snoop into all kinds of peoples meetings to identify people who supported Hong Kong democracy protests and attempt to extradite and imprison them

So they will absolutely use Tik Tok for hostile means

And yes we need to crack down on domestics data abuses as well
