Ban all social media if you think ownership is the point. Or is it only a problem now because you're not the top dog in internet surveillance? You schum come over like the ownership matters "now" when the pole position is from a different country is hilarious and very telling.
They (Tiktok) has owned the information for about 10th of the time social media companies became a thing. Everyone in the US was fine then while social media companies were sowing discord/violence/hate and genocide abroad, now everyone else is fine most US social media data is owned by someone else. Deal with it.
It's not the author who's out of touch. The same recipe US used to create mega corp monopolies is coming to bite you, it's just controlled by the CCP, LMAO.
Keep telling yourself whatever makes you seem you're on the righteous side. You're fooling no one. you do you tho.
