- newen 6y agoYep, probably the main reason why they want to sell it to a US based company.
- xxpor 6y agoBut that's the exact issue, it's political poison because of who owns it. Why would it be "magically transmuted away"? That's literally the entire point.
- AndrewBissell 6y agoMy point is that it's funny that what makes TikTok poisonous is not the incredibly intrusive surveillance itself, but rather the fact that it's being done by a foreign company/government (which ultimately can probably do a lot less harm to Americans with all that info than Microsoft or the US government).
