Such as sharing ALL of its customer data with the government in exchange for subsidies? Which effectively means having a government entity in control of the data but with zero oversight or control from the public?

It’s not ideal but at least people aren’t getting their credit cancelled because they said something mean about Trump online.

I already said it wasn’t ideal. At least Trump had to do some shit first to fuck with tiktok. You think that wouldn’t have been immediate if tiktok was controlled by the government?
