Yeah... I'm a pretty hardcore privacy advocate but I'm having a hard time listening to the discourse about TikTok and coming away with anything other than a strong anti-Chinese sentiment looking to legitimize itself. There are some real privacy concerns and I think it makes sense that government officials, military, and people with clearance should be wary of foreign tech companies due to the potential of that data being used for blackmail a la Grindr but for the rest of us I think it's just a wake-up call about how non-US countries feel about FB, Twitter, Instagram, etc..
