Where's the evidence?

Edit: As usual, crickets.

What do you want? An article https://techcrunch.com/2022/11/03/tiktok-privacy-policy-update-china/?guccounter=1

Or an actual research https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=nl&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=tiktok+china+data+privacy+&btnG=#d=gs_qabs&t=1700051360372&u=%23p%3DKnf1JZMABB8J

Whatever you want, cricket.

Now before you go "fake, not relevant, false information!!!!!" Provide some opposing proof yourself, cricket.

Lol, you might want to calm down before you think you've made a slam dunk.

All you've done is google 'tiktok china data privacy' then linked a bunch of articles. You're literally proving my point about a lie being told often enough becomes true.

Do you want to tell me what's in these articles that is actually worth being concerned about? Or do I have to read through all the bullshit you didn't just to find out it's FUD like:

"An incoming privacy policy change announced by TikTok yesterday for users in Europe — which, for the first time, names China as one of several third countries where user data can be remotely accessed by “certain” company employees to perform what it claims are “important” functions"

Lol. Get real. I'm here if you want to talk, but you have to use your words.

How about this. Tell me, specifically, what tiktok did that users did not give them permission to do and then link to evidence supporting that claim.

I don't expect you to do that though, because then you would have to stick your neck out on something specific and have nothing substantial to back it up.
