Can we all please stick to the topic of the post here? That Tiktok is a threat to the society especially when a foreign company with questionable ethical and moral practices is in charge of American teen data.

If you want to discuss how western companies also collect the data, then go make a different post and discuss there? The false equivalence by comparing Tiktok to other tech companies ruins any discussions we could have here.

Implement American like GDPR and bring the hammer down. That's the beauty of applying it equally to all actors. The consumers win.
TikTok doesn't conform to GDPR in Europe either. They have been fined several times in Italy.
