    I have never used tiktok partly because it’s banned where I am but it looks like they have 100% capitulated to American demands which is why they are still allowed to operate there. I don’t know how much control the Chinese government has over their American operations.

      IIRC in the US it’s basically controlled by the Silicon Valley intelligence contractor Oracle. One of the top staffers at TikTok Canada is a “former” intelligence agency employee.

      The whole thing is fearmongering and in some form protecting the market share of the US social media companies which are more fully integrated with the US intelligence apparatus.
