  The data is stored on US soil, so whatever they are able to gather, the US government is allowing it. Which means… all social media. So, ban all social media then if it’s such a risk, right? Or… I don’t know… maybe make an actual data privacy law so no one can steal and hoover up your precious data?

  Look m8 IDC how authoritarian they are, if China wants to see how much brain rot I can get through in an 8 hour period that’s fine, it’s not like they’re an authority over me

  In the US, especially for some marginalized groups (trans folks mostly right now) there’s an active push by the govt to make people hate us, I don’t want THAT authority to have any of my fucking data, especially when analysis of my scrolling habits could tell them when I’m most likely home or whatnot.

  Given the choice between an authoritarian and an authoritarian, I’ll take the authoritarian who can’t exert power over me thanks

    Except they’re not just both authoritarian; they’re both capitalist. So TikTok (or whatever) will just sell your data to brokers and it’ll eventually end up in the hands of Americans who would visit your home.

      Are you somehow not aware that Google/Facebook/Twitter literally do the same thing? Wouldn’t it make more sense to create a data privacy law so that everyone benefits? I don’t understand why that’s so hard to grasp for some of these folks.

        It would make more sense to use alternatives to those social networks. Yes, it is still bad when Americans do it.

        You and I have practically zero control over privacy laws. We’re living in an oligarchy, not a democracy.

  It is if you want to stick it to the domestic authoritarian
