Americans when Canadians say they’d prefer TikTok spying vs an American company:
but seriously. I want no one to have my data, but if someone HAD to have it, I would prefer TikTok over anything from Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, etc…
My country wont export me to China if I post something negative or pirate something. My country will export me to the US if they come banging on my door. I am quite literally safer letting China have a bit of my data.
Don’t worry the illegally operating Chinese police station in your city will just come and get you. No need to be exported, you get to be questioned and held by a foreign officer without any direct oversight in your own country!
There may be more "Chinese police stations" operating in Canada, the Public Safety Minister told a Canadian TV station on Sunday, months after police <a href="/world/americas/canada-police-probe-alleged-chinese-police-stations-montreal-2023-03-09/">said</a> they were investigating whether two community centers in Montreal were being used to intimidate or harass Canadians of Chinese origin.
The point
your head
The point being that the US even if aggressive uses the proper channels to pursue action against entities it believes to be dangerous?
How is that worse than China illegally and secretively doing the exact same thing within your own borders they ?promised_* to respect.
