#'you sell the data of our good american citizens to those filthy chinese communists don't you'

This doesn't concern me much because I'm a EU citizen and also be it far from me to defend TikTok as a company, but some moments at the US Congressional hearing are so ridiculous (on the part of the Congressmen) that I can't help but follow this thing. Honestly I feel for the TikTok CEO. The patience of that man, I would've started yelling three questions in.

#also this is definitely a red scare #tiktok has shady practices but not shadier than any other major social media platform (most of which happen to be american!) #my original post #tiktok hearing #'why do you allow children on your app??' 'we don't. we ban them if we find them' #'and how do you find them?? that's creepy. by hacking into our wifi networks??' '... no? by looking at their public videos and comments???' #'you sell the data of our good american citizens to those filthy chinese communists don't you' #this is a dramatisation but I swear it's pretty much like this
