      It’s not really a whataboutism. We’re trying to understand what the diffence is between the two. US companies have spyware, CCP does too. Why is okay for one, and not the other?

      What do you mean? If the concern is spyware, then that concern exists whether your using American software or Chinese software.

      If you don’t think the concern is spyware and it’s solely China, then don’t mention spyware. Say you don’t like it because it’s Chinese and leave it at that. You’d come across as more genuine.

        The problem is both. I support none of them nor their evil efforts.

        The difference is that Tiktok is controlled / influenced by the CCP and the other social media networks are controlled by corporate boards of directors. Tiktok is under the influence of evil communists, literally.
