TikTok in China and TikTok in practically the rest of the world is supposedly very different. There is a theory that the Chinese version pushes good content like science experiments, museum exhibits, and other educational content, while the non-Chinese version is meant to be as addictive as possible while pushing far less quality content.

The app collects way more data than even the worst offenders we're used to hearing about.

The NSA doesn’t collect American data without a warrant.

The EU disagrees.

Snowden didn’t “leak” anything. Everything he drew attention to was covered in the NY Times when the Patriot Act was passed. If people were unaware of the Five Eyes agreement that was because it works.
Besides, there’s no comparison. One is a national security program, the other is a video app with no legitimate social benefit.

What are you talking about...
On June 6, 2013, Americans learned that their government was spying broadly on its own people.
That’s when The Guardian and The Washington Post published the first of a series of reports put together from documents leaked by an anonymous source. The material exposed a government-run surveillance program that monitored the communications records of not just criminals or potential terrorists, but law-abiding citizens as well.
Three days later the source unmasked himself as Edward Snowden, a National Security Agency contractor.

In the immediate wake of the early NSA revelations, the agency’s director, General Keith Alexander, claimed the NSA surveillance had contributed to the prevention of 54 plots.
Eventually, deputy NSA director John Inglis conceded that, at most, one plot.

TikTok collects the same amount of data every other social media app collects. They are just mad it’s not something the government can control.
