Is tiktok saying that all Chinese apps that steal our data are also stealing our data because they were designed to steal our data?!

I am SHOCKED.

    Lol, what domestic social media apps are the US government trying to ban?

    What's that? None of them? Ah okay.

    The concern is international espionage, there are really only 2 big players in that space. One of them is the US, can you guess the other?

    Simply reading the article would reveal how ludicrously incorrect your argument is.

    You're clearly arguing that tiktok is arguing in court that all Chinese apps steal your data.

    This is patently false to anyone who has read the article. But, of course, it's much easier to find something to be outraged over when you don't really know what's going on.
