I'm not saying we shouldn't worry about how China might be using TikTok to steal our data and manipulate us...

But why aren't we at least as worried about the U.S. billionaires who own the other apps stealing our data and trying to manipulate us?

@rbreich the rest of the world worries about both.

Americans worry about both too imo. You guys are the only country where a dude leaked government spyware and went to literally one of the worst countries in the world for the rest of his life. That's kinda impressive.
