> You claim there is "sufficient evidence" yet provide none

Do I need to provide evidence that the Chinese government should not be trusted and that China has control over all businesses based within its borders? This is common knowledge.

> I'm less worried than if it were used by American companies to target me specifically for ads

You should try practicing what you preach regarding so called xenophobia. Also your defensiveness in this regard is misplaced because my post is not pro American ad companies and it is not pro data collection. I am anti data collection. So not only am I against tiktok because it's controlled by a genocidal dictatorship that has raised a legion of indoctrinated nationalists, I'm anti tiktok because it represents the absolute worst of social media.

> Yes, because it's likely your "common knowledge" is a misunderstanding or misrepresentation of reality

Fine, you disagree with me, I'm not putting in any more effort discussing this with you because I don't believe you are arguing in good faith. I'll let the reader of HN decide using their own judgement.

> Ironically this is most of the world's opinion of America.

You keep up bringing up America despite me not mentioning them or even defending the country. This is a classic tactic for derailing conversations.

They’re likely the Chinese gov themselves. Nobody with a sane mind outside of Chinese control can claim xenophobia when the subject is China.

> genocidal dictatorship

Do you believe in earnest that China is not a genocidal dictatorship?
