    The issue for common people regarding tiktok is more along the lines of foreign adversaries obtaining personal information of the users or using it to spy on the government

    What’s the difference between Facebook / Meta selling my data to whoever, vs. TikTok harvesting it themselves?

      There is no difference, neither should be allowed to do that. Person I replied to claimed the issue is chinese propaganda instead of any actual security risks.
