Recently, I can't help but think this way everytime I see controversial comment/post in HN and reddit. Maybe TikTok is not collecting data and operating ads in any way worse than Facebook or Google but we can expect companies from democratic countries to face some level of scrutiny from free press and government accountable to people. The thought of Chinese government having access to companies with reaches like Facebook/Google to global population worries me.
