The big US tech companies have lobbyists working on politicians and using the privacy as a smoke screen.

The true issue is not privacy. The true issue is TikTok is eating these other companies for lunch. It's newer, it's fresher, it has more active users. Youtube, Facebook, and Insta have blatant short-format ripoffs of Tiktok on their sites trying to stay relevant. And their versions with such low-level content are an embarrassment. People actually make content for TikTok. FB and YT just rip it off. TikTok is a major player in the entertainment industries now.

That is the true issue.
