WAIT A MINUTE, I don't like my information shared with anyone not just TIKTOK.

I was watching some of the hearing both Dems and Reps grilling the TikTok CEO and it occurred to me how much I dislike having to consciously opt out of conceding to info being shared with anyone all that much.

If anything, I shouldn't have to "opt out" , I should have to "opt in".

You did opt in when you accepted the programs terms and conditions. Ditto the Android phone operating system.

Google Facebook Twitter all have your info and, as I understand it, sell it.

To me this is just about Republicans repeating CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY as many times as possible. CCP = the Biden family to their consumers.

If the problem is the gathering and sharing of information, then ban that. Banning TikTok is stupid if you're not going to ban Zuckerberg.
