You're surprisingly passionate about defending TikTok and CCP.

Also, I want to note how your comment is structured:

1. Demand an impossible proof.

2. Gaslight with remarks about vast spy networks, mind control and illuminatis.

3. Distract with an irrelevant, but true story.

Like I said, you're defending TikTok & CCP with surprising passion and competence.

It's not impossible.

I literally gave two examples along with a giant book of where such proof is.

Yes, true stories, that's what I'm asking for. Not fantastic tales inspired from the protocols of the elders of Zion.

Something like the Panama papers or Epstein or the VW emission scandal. There's more examples

At this point, I would even settle for circumstantial evidence. Just no "it might happen".

Proof of having a capability and proof of using said capability is not the same thing. Your line of reasoning is no different from people who bitch about security patches costing performance when there is no evidence of exploits in the wild.
