Look, I get it, I wouldn't give a shit if TikTok imploded tomorrow and went out of business. I don't use it. Actually, I would cheer on TikTok's implosion. It's a cesspool. However:

"First they came for the xxx and I didn't care because I didn't use or like xxx"...."and then they came for me or the thing I liked or used there was nobody left to defend me"

First, they came for the obviously government-funded data harvesting program, and I said nothing, because I think that's a good thing actually.

They can come for tiktok because its a propaganda tool that harvests sensitive data en masse.

I just wish they'd go after FB, IG, Twitter, etc as well for doing the EXACT SAME THINGS that theyre claiming tiktok is doing.

The only issue with tiktok is China getting the info, not that the company harvests data and spreads propaganda.

I knew I shouldn't have said anything, because I would have become everyone's enemy. Please don't generalize my words, because I have this opinion only about tiktok only.

Honestly, i totally agreed with you on TikTok.
