      The average person probably doesn’t give a shit about their own data and since they are just moving from one Chinese app to another then their data was already acquired so why would they care now?

          Oh yeah because theres totally not propaganda on any major US social media sites. You really think X or Meta’s algorithms are any better? Id argue theyre probably worse actually, so I get why a lot of people would be more comfortable with a chinese app.

            It’s not the US government controlling the algorithm though, it’s a company. China actually controls what byte dance does directly.
