- three_seagrass 6y agoThat letter is only about Toutiao, the Chinese subsidiary I talked about.

- three_seagrass 6y agoThe only bridge for sale here is confusing this letter written by TaoTiao PR with Bytedance or TikTok. Again, TaoTiao is beholden to Chinese National Intelligence law, not ByteDance or TikTok. Apple has forked over the same with it's subsidiary in China: https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2018/03/apple-privacy-betrayal-for-chinese-icloud-users/ https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2018/03/apple-privacy...
