I feel the same way about TikTok. I'd rather have a Hong Kong based company with a threat of Chinese interception because I don't give a shit if the Chinese have my data (at least I dont yet).

I do care about using US/Canada/UK/German/etc apps where you know at least 75% of your data is ending up in some database of a country you live in or your country is has a free-wheeling data sharing policy (with some rubber stamp exceptions which foreign partner interception easily bypasses).

How is TikTok a Hong Kong based company?

Good point I don’t know why I thought they pretended to operate out of Hong Kong. Must be thinking of another company.
