TikTok aside they must be one of the least trustworthy major social media companies

>>Havoc+98
At this point I'd put TikTok ahead of Facebook/Meta as the US gov has TikTok on a much tigher leash.

>>schapp+E8
TikTok is a Chinese company and the USA has literally zero input or transparency into its operation.

>>ed2551+ta
You're right, but this is why the US is more likely to bonk them over the head, admittedly this is less of a threat now w/ Biden in Office, but still a threat.

TikTok's biggest short term threat is probably the CCP, which has been increasingly taking a hardline approach w/ their own tech companies (think Ant Financial, JD etc).

>>schapp+dc
Come on.

The CCP is taking a hardline with companies domestically. There's a huge push to stop corrupting the youth, treat data responsibly, etc.

The CCP gives 0 shits what those companies do to the rest of the world, and are probably thrilled if TikTok causes political and social chaos in the US.
