But that's my point. china doesn't care about me. American data gobblers care very much about me because I exist as a consumer in their sphere of influence and am far more likely to be exploited by said data.
China would have more of an investment in the information on people they DO care to get than the US would have on any information scraps it could collect from tiktok that it doesn't already have from hundreds of other sources.
Do they actually? I mean why can't I sell my days. If I quit the big tech companies and paid for the equivalent services, could I sell that data at a auction? Not having a go at you, just wondering how much our individual data is actually worth.
