TikTok is taking the US government to court.

    No that’s ByteDance’s direct ties. TikTok would be indirect. My intention is to get to the bottom of this but it’s constantly just unsourced accusations and conflations. Not to mention excuse after excuse for why we can’t just pass an American GDPR. Instead we have to instigate Red Scare 2.0 which is totally not sus.

      ByteDance is not just an indirect tie between TikTok and China, former employees have testified that the TikTok services are centralized in China. The offices in the USA operate like a shell company.

            He left ByteDance 4 years before Project Texas. Even if that was happening then there’s no evidence it’s still happening. But also how is this any different than the US Government telling Facebook it has to share information?

                That’s a lot of assumption for no evidence. You might as well ask how TikTok deals with aliens in Area 51.

                  You choose to believe the people who built this system know nothing about how it actually works? That there is no evidence?
