>It has yet to be brought to my attention what behaviors/patterns Tik Tok employs which set them apart from their US-based competitors Which of their US competitors voluntarily provide unfettered access to their data to the Chinese Military? https://www.nationalreview.com/2023/03/new-report-reveals-tiktok-parents-extensive-links-to-chinese-military-surveillance-complex/ https://www.nationalreview.com/2023/03/new-report-reveals-ti... https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-03-17/new-zealand-bans-tiktok-parliament-australia-china-government/102110218 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-03-17/new-zealand-bans-tikt...

You've been fooled if you think that Facebook, Google are the ones who would be selling the data. Of course it's not them, it's the data brokers who get all the data from all the other US companies who are tracking every other thing we do. They will sell the data to anybody with money, including China. Even if the data brokers said they would never do that, I guarantee China can just set up a company in the US and straight up purchase the data outright.

  So what your saying is the USA social media companies behave completely differently?

  Ah hah. But you see as long as there is one layer of indirection or more it's completely different. Somehow.

  So you've got proof of Facebook selling copies of your private videos and pictures to third party data brokers? Ignoring the fact it would be violating their own TOS, I have no doubt the government would be extremely interested in that information. Source?

  Since you seem so well-versed, why don't you explain more about these "data brokers"? Your model, if I'm understanding correctly, is that "data brokers" harvest data on Americans, and then illegally sell this back to FAANG companies? Where'd you read about this?
