There sure has been a change in attitude towards tiktok here on hn. Just go back a year or so when Trump tried to ban it (or force a cheap sale to oracle) and tiktok was accused of being an extension of ccp - read the comments from back then.

Facebook, google etc are also an extension of American 3 letter agencies, so I get why people don't really care. Almost better to ship my data to ccp that cannot really use it for anything, than give big US even more on me.
Yeah. That should be the issue.

Though TikTok is kind enough to run their international version on AWS.

Ps: it is really that good - imho next generation social media.
I doubt there's been a change in attitude, just different threads attracting a different mixture of interests. The only user I could identify who participated in both kinds of threads doesn't appear to have changed their mind.
