No doubt spyware is bad from either country, but TikTok was caught trying to suppress content from "ugly, poor, or disabled" users. Do you still support the app knowing that?

I didn’t say I supported it at all.

I merely said I don’t see how it’s worse than the major US social networks. Like say Facebook, which has been caught multiple times allowing employers and housing advertisers to illegally exclude groups like Black people, from seeing job postings and apartment listings.

Again, I don’t know that what TikTok has been shown to be doing is any worse.

Sorry, didn't mean to put words in your mouth.
