If anything, that just reenforces his point though
kinda, but I always thought it was extremely hypocritical of all the people that are "china bad, tiktok bad uhhh spyware" but use instagram and google
Both types are bad and should be avoided, but I think there is a difference between a private US company invading your privacy, and literal CCP sponsored Spyware, particularly when you're a member of a nation that CCP is actively targeting for espionage and surveillance (not that the US isn't doing likewise, to still the crys of whataboutism)
The chance I'll ever go to China is very small, but the chance I'll go to the US is pretty high. Surely the US spying on me is the only one to care about?
Depends on your personal priorities, I'm certainly not trying to tell you what to care about, I was just elaborating on why people might care more about tik toks spying than Metas. Personally, you won't find either on my phone
