Why isn't TikTok owned by the U.S. government?
If TikTok is a national security threat, don't we have gov reports of 1) the backdoors of the app 2) detailled understanding of shareholders and their action scope, (3) purchase of shareholders voting power?
Does the U.S. government asks Google to make YouTube shorts better than TikTok?
TikTok is Chinese malware masquerading as a friendly social media app that people use for giggles when waiting for the bus or loafing at work. It’s a Trojan horse firmly embedded in the US with no oversight or regulation. And the amount of data it grabs behind the scenes is astonishing.
The US govt outsources software development to the big consulting firms. Any one of them would take 5 years and $10B to create an equivalent app. And then it would only run with Microsoft Explorer (not Edge).
How do you know they don't?
Why isn't Twitter owned by the Chinese government?
