when asked why they're more afraid of tiktok than the NSA/FBI/or even local cops, they say shit like "in the US, companies have the CHOICE to sell your data to the government. In China, they're forced to!"
Funniest part about Reddit hating Tiktok is that most of their hate is probably more to do with that fact that it's mainstream and popular amongst social outgoing people than the fact that it's Chinese
Obviously, by it's popularity and growth rate even in the US, even sinophobic non-redditors don't care
You hate TikTok because you're sinophobic. I hate TikTok because I know my ADHD brain will be instantly addicted to infinite algorithmic dopamine if I use it. We are not the same.
The best part are Redditors saying, "This Balloon isn't that big of a threat but TikTok? That's the real threat.

I miss the days when I was that naive.
But they're right though. American companies do have the choice, and they choose to sell it which makes it worse than when you're forced to do it.
I mean naive in the sense that they think these companies have some moral compass that would make them not sell their data.
