Tik Tok's doing for China what Google does for the US gov so it's bad (Public Board)

A lot of countries have banned TikTok at least from government devices because of the security threat. We have too. Some countries have banned it totally. I haven't read anything about Israeli/Jewish lobbies pushing for it, but clearly it's a problematic app.

From the article:

"Those fears are reflected in the U.S. law, which is the culmination of long-held bipartisan fears in Washington that China’s communist leaders could force ByteDance to hand over U.S. user data, or influence Americans by suppressing or promoting certain content. TikTok has long maintained that it doesn’t share data with the Chinese government and its CEO has taken a defiant stance, vowing to fight back."

TikTok is very popular even though its full of crap content. People have fun with it and they don't seem to care if their personal information is datamined by the CCP. Even though Google might spy they're not under the control of the CCP.
