    YOUR data doesn’t matter. Information gained from mass analysis of data that is tied to govt workers and military personnel is a security concern and it is treated as such. Nobody cares about your particular data, on either side (well, maybe ad companies, but if you are a tiktoker, you are already fully compromised there).

    On the up side for tiktok kids. The CCP will likely order trump to unblock it.

      If our data didn’t matter, they wouldn’t be harvesting it, never mind making obscene amounts of money with it. If our data didn’t matter, there would not be a multibillion dollar industry based entirely upon it.

      YOUR data DOES matter, if it didn’t, why would they go to such lengths to gather it in the first place?

        Yeah … I said that. Your data can be used and sold, it just doesn’t have anything to do with a tiktok ban. They already have your ad data, especially if you are a tiktoker/social media user. The van stems from security concerns, it has nothing to do with the average user, no one cares about them.
