Probably, but for other reasons. Neither of those are owned by the US, are they?
Rakonat@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Yes but not for the reasons stated in the post you replied to.

The United States is not an enemy nation to the EU.

They basically do, as revealed by Snowden documents when the US forced American companies like AT&T, Microsoft, or Google to let them spy on their users. I don’t even think Tik Tok stores their user data in China servers, it’s in Texas or Virginia or Singapore.

This was the original compromise, but Byte Dance repeatedly gave access to said servers to engineers with ties to the CCP against the agreement’s stipulations. Byte Dance broke the compromise.

Oh I don’t remember seeing that anywhere. You got a link with more info on that?
EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Well then yeah maybe the EU should ban them. Thats up to them, but I would totally understand it if they did.
As for TikTok’s user data, it doesn’t matter where it’s geographically stored. ByteDance has unfettered access to the data regardless, which means the CCP has unfettered access to it.
