I think this tiktok stuff is a stupid distraction, anti-china hype. Read about 'Cambridge Analytica' these companies hoover up everything they can, monetize it however they can. Facebook gave access to everyone's data to a scummy company in london who copied it for themselves then resold it.
Can anyone say where that citizen's united database went? Dollars to doughnuts that data is current held by every big country, including china.
How much risk is any politician taking by standing up and mouthing off about tiktok and china? Zero. Banging the drum and pretending to do something.
For me to care I'd want an actual 'fix' for consumer privacy. How about I get to own all the data about me? Pass a law where I can make it illegal for a company to possess data about me? Zap. Anything less is unenforceable and has no consequence.
Want to focus on china specifically? Check out what they're doing to the uighurs. Massive work camps. Denounce china for what they are and pull out of the trade deals with them. Recognize taiwan. Tiktok is a dumb racist distraction with no real consequences, its manufactured issue to make political hay.
