Of course - now that we have an administration actively trying to appease the CCP... and which doesn't care about American citizens' privacy: what else would you expect?
Eh over 50% of Americans sided with CCP to take down the last guy, so I doubt anyone is disappointed.
You couldnt even speak directly about the sciences, comparisons, or historical perspective in all of 2020 for fear of being called a xenophope or killing someones grandmother.
The kids are communist. China is communist. Perfect fit really.
I think it's a bit much to characterize this as appeasing the CCP. The article is clear about using evidence for curtailing national security risks instead of blanket bans.
The data collection aspect seems to be on-par with what Silicon Valley tech companies do
"Patrick Jackson, chief technology officer of privacy company Disconnect, said the app sends an abnormal amount of data—mostly information about the phone—to its server, but there is limited evidence that TikTok is sharing these data with the Chinese government. He also noted that the amount of collected data was similar to that collected by American-originated social media platforms and was less than that collected by Facebook."
