    Americans when Canadians say they’d prefer TikTok spying vs an American company:

    but seriously. I want no one to have my data, but if someone HAD to have it, I would prefer TikTok over anything from Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, etc…

    My country wont export me to China if I post something negative or pirate something. My country will export me to the US if they come banging on my door. I am quite literally safer letting China have a bit of my data.

      I am pretty sure TikTok would comply if you posted something illegal under Canada law or US law. Sure they aren’t based in the US but that doesn’t mean they don’t operate within the US and can just ignore the US laws. I assume they also have operations within Canada as well.

          The point being that the US even if aggressive uses the proper channels to pursue action against entities it believes to be dangerous?

          How is that worse than China illegally and secretively doing the exact same thing within your own borders they promised to respect.

              Okay next time you can stop there then if that’s all you want to say. No need to vaguely complain about YOUR GOVERNMENT extraditing criminals to the US while willfully ignoring the fact China engages in ILLEGAL operations within your border.
