Yeah because she's Chinese obviously. She should have born in America if she wanted to make anything. Big mistake. Big big mistake.

No, because the moral character or intentions of the people running TikTok have absolutely no bearing on whether or not that data is available to the CCP. I don't begrudge anyone working with what they've got, but I'm not going to play stupid.

You actually began this by talking about "culturally entrenched anti-black racism", a pretty stupid prejudicial smear that has a lot to do with moral character. You used that to justify blanket discrimination against Chinese.

Excuse me? The mixed and often uncomfortable experiences of the incredibly minute percentage of black people living in China are well-documented. Tell me: am I to be considered an obvious racist for ignoring them, or for hearing them?

You are being an obvious racist for assigning guilt for anti-Black racism to all Chinese. Naomi, for example, is an anti-racist, but you've already said that if Naomi is earth-2 made TikTok, racism from others in China should be reason enough ban her app.

But later you claimed you were only trying to protect user data from the CCP, which is itself a poorly articulated idea. That had nothing to do with what you originally said, which encouraged people to make an exception for stands against racism when it comes to Chinese things.

Oh, believe me, my concerns with the CCP extend far beyond "only" foreign user data. I'm not remotely shy when it comes to my criticisms of this regime. If my mistake was too narrow a scope, I will try very hard to correct it.

Your criticism is not narrow in scope but overly and stupidly broad such as it captures and assigns guilt to literally every single Chinese person and thing.
