I get that you aren't excusing TikTok. You rightly point out the double standard. It's okay if an Amurican (misspelling intentional) company mines data and sells out its own citizens? I think not.

It’s not great, but no public company has the ability to start a war with the US and utilize that data for that purpose.

Mining data is a good thing.
