NSA can’t harvest user data from tiktok because it’s Chinese based, so they force them to split and sell to American subcompany that is obliged by law to give them access to their server. Everything else is political bullshit, like the Chinese gouvernement can “weaponize it’s app” ?? They can’t turn teenager into terrorist hating their country just like that, tiktok can only influence so much.
US lawmakers vote 50-0 to force sale of TikTok despite angry calls from users

If the Chinese government believed that why do they ban so many US apps in their country?

Cmon that’s not that difficult to understand: The same reason usa bans Chinese app. China, just as usa, has mass surveillance system and want to get every single data, they can’t do that with apps owned by usa based companies.

Can they do that with a Chinese company?

Technically, they’re forcing the US Based shell company that the Chinese were using to sell out to some other American, or maybe just shut down.

They are. This just isn’t an example of one.

Even if China has access to my data, that’s way less scary than Zuck, musk, Bezos or any other tech bro.
