		2OEH8eoCRo0 on Dec 24, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: TikTok banned on government devices under spending... Negative. The common refrain is to ban all data collection through regulation. TikToks differentiator is they are an extension of the Chinese Communist Party. Banning all data collection would devastate multiple US megacorps. I wish that were possible but it's not practical.

Are they an extension of the CCP in a different way to Microsoft, or Facebook, or whoever, being an extension of the USA government (eg under national security letters)?
