      Lol you’re getting downvoted but I wonder why CCP spyware is so bad, compared to USA spyware. Disappointing on Lemmy you are getting downvoted. For the people downvoting you, it’s bad when China does something, but when the US does the same thing, it’s totally okay!

        Americans have been brainwashed into thinking it’s better to get fucked by American companies than companies abroad.

        I always know a useful idiot when I see one based on how well they parrot talking points without understanding them.

          They really have. It’s amazing when they start talking about the terrible things other countries do, but when I point out that the US does the same thing - oh no that’s different!

              If people could recognize that instead of dividing, we’d have a lot more power to take back what was stolen by governments.

        It’s not really a whataboutism. We’re trying to understand what the diffence is between the two. US companies have spyware, CCP does too. Why is okay for one, and not the other?

        What do you mean? If the concern is spyware, then that concern exists whether your using American software or Chinese software.

        If you don’t think the concern is spyware and it’s solely China, then don’t mention spyware. Say you don’t like it because it’s Chinese and leave it at that. You’d come across as more genuine.

          The problem is both. I support none of them nor their evil efforts.

          The difference is that Tiktok is controlled / influenced by the CCP and the other social media networks are controlled by corporate boards of directors. Tiktok is under the influence of evil communists, literally.
