Not trying to defend TikTok, FB/Google/Twitter are not sharing data with CCP, but they are sharing data with CIA owned by Uncle Sam.

    Worse doesn’t make bad better

  As a general rule, the sharing occurs only as compelled by lawful court order. Goog/FB don't really have a choice in complying if they want to continue to exist and do business in the USA.

    That's not true at all. All of these social media platforms have LEO portals where they circumvent any privacy settings.

      False. The access requires entering a warrant. The authorities can't just access your data arbitrarily. Please cite sources or stop spreading FUD.

        True; It was right in the BlueLeaks archive.

    > As a general rule, the sharing occurs only as compelled by lawful court order. "Lawful", sure, in the sense that the secret FISA court approved it, and while that's blatantly unconstitutional the supreme court decided that no-one has standing to bring that case unless they can prove that they were themselves being secretly surveilled. I bet everything that TikTok does is lawfully compelled as well. > Goog/FB don't really have a choice in complying if they want to continue to exist and do business in the USA. Sure, but again, how's that any different from TikTok's situation?
