I get that you aren't excusing TikTok. You rightly point out the double standard. It's okay if an Amurican (misspelling intentional) company mines data and sells out its own citizens? I think not.

It’s not great, but no public company has the ability to start a war with the US and utilize that data for that purpose.

You don't think corporations are at war with the American people?

So you really have no concept of class warfare? What's that like for you?

Mining data is a good thing.
