    They are just jealous that someone else is getting all the tasty data, and they think it should be going to a US company instead.

        Doesn’t matter who hosts it. Oracle has no access to the user data. Just because some website is hosted there does not mean that they can see the data.

        Yeah, it’s not about ‘data.’

        It’s about money. Lol. American rulers want a piece of that pie, and they have plenty of useful idiots spreading FUD to help them.

        Despite this, they don’t believe tiktok’s assurances that the CCP doesn’t actually have ready access to the data. However the only evidence they’ve presented is testimony from a former employee.

          Even if that were the case, couldn’t the Chinese government just covertly get one of their companies to buy any such data from companies like Meta and Google anyways, and then request it from one of their own firms if they wanted to? Tiktok just makes it so that the Chinese government can (if they were harvesting American data) acquire it for free.

      More than that, US companies have maintained monopolies for decades in the tech sector, and feel entitled to them even as markets shift away.
