Do you think TikTok is stealing American user data?

@bob___

They're collecting social media data, but it's not stealing because the users agree to provide the data instead of paying cash for the service.

Yes, but it’s not the only one. American apps do the same thing

I think the question should be "do you think there's any company not stealing user data?". Why single out tiktok and American users?

Honestly, every other company does that and everyone's well aware of it. Every IT/Security person also know the main motive behind it.

It doesn't matter, but you can't have communists and warmongers having any kind of access to your data

Stealing is a strong word. That would mean without permission. So strong no. Are they abusing their access on phones like other apps have had reports of? We don’t have evidence. But maybe. And that would be stealing. Strong maybe
