It's a good point, though, that while the CCP surely gets a better deal with tiktok, the hugely decentralized network of data brokers in the adtech space means that the CCP can and does get much of the same data by buying it from non-chinese companies.
Just wanna clear this up: it is absolutely NOT racist to "selectively" fear a massive opaque data grab by the CCP.pic.twitter.com/Y51P22ZvHn

It's not clear to me that this is true, or even arguable. Broadly, people misunderstand the distinction between collecting, utilizing and selling data. Apps under the observation and/or control of the CCP are most concerning precisely because those lines fade away.

In the modern parlance isn't excusing TikTok because FaceApp did it a "whataboutism" and thus bad?

The public's willingness to pick up a fad without properly vetting them is frightening. I'm even guilty of this the fact that TOS's are basically small novels just adds to an already serious problem.

I see so many people excitedly sharing the “TikTok? Facebook? Same-Same, but different...” for the sick burn/gotcha effect without thinking of the implications that come along with it.

Same same but different indeed. The intelligence ties are established for Facebook, not yet for Tiktok.pic.twitter.com/YnFDCIqLAa

Might want to checkout Zoom then. It just happened to be in the right place at the right time to make billions from this pandemic.
