        What are you suggesting? That Congress didn’t force TikTok to hand over control is US servers years ago? You didn’t see it in the news at the time, or you just don’t believe it?

        Or do you think China has been censoring on behalf of the state dept?

          I think they still get all the data of what goes off the servers, and I think that the Chinese side of the company still has ultimate control over what gets displayed.

          The servers being in the US means that the Chinese government doesn’t have to have access to the servers but it doesn’t mean that they still don’t have the equivalent situation silently going on.

            I really don’t care if China gets my data. They don’t have any jurisdiction over me. I’m concerned about domestic surveillance.
