Yes. They’re saying the reason the Houston Chinese embassy was closed down out of nowhere was they were using TikTok data to target/provoke protestors via TikTok in regards to George Floyd protests. People were intentionally targeted to further fan the flames of unrest in this country.

It’s also been speculated that TikTok is using the data they get from the US to train their facial recognition and AI tools better.

Every major and minor news outlet and social media netowrk in the country was fanning the flames, including official POTUS statements.
