I'll skip on the China spyware. But thanks.
But the crap going to Saudia Arabia is better? Or to private corps? They all do it, and they all need to be stopped.
China can't really do anything to me personally, us is a much bigger threat.
What is China going to do to you?
You should be only worried about all the western spyware your balls are deep in.

Nah I'd rather keep the influence on my country be as close to 1/3rd all around between the 3 big super powers.
What's the reason though? If you don't want to "willingly serve up all your data" if it results in literally nothing, why?

Western spyware we agree to willingly in agreements that openly state that your information will be collected.
The problem with TikTok was that they were found to collect more information than they explained in their user agreement.
Show proof. Stop pulling shit out of your ass because some Redditor said something.

You can literally search "TikTok data"
They said Virginia and Singapore, then whoops, it's actually not
So they didn't "collect more information than they explained in their user agreement." You just made that up.
