A: Funneling data from its users directly to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party). Corps in China have a special relationship with the government, unlike the US. A CCP party member accompanies the CEO and is present for major decisions. Often, company policies are dictated by the government and handed down by the party member assigned to the company. The CCP has access to the data that companies collect, which includes all the data generated by American citizens. This does not only include the video content, but location information and any other kinds of device fingerprinting they can come up with. B: TikTok has different algorithms for different countries, the algorithm in China is tuned to show young people science, technology, and inspirational content, which was dictated by the CCP. The US algorithm shows young people anything that will keep them "engaged", which usually includes ragebait and all kinds of unhealthy things.
