A very much needed opposition to USA Big Tech. TikTok should keep USA at its toes and the morality concerns shown by hypocrites suddenly disappear for USA Big Tech. Most of these staunch moralistic people are also from Western countries, especially Red States in USA, who have a clear conflict of interest.
Also, TikTok collecting more data than USA Big Tech companies is a myth repeatedly debunked by analysts of data collection in apps.
From my POV, the same goes for Yandex, rivaling Google in terms of search engine results, reverse image search and translation. Western surveillance hydra aka 14 Eyes and their services should be kept at bay. If you do not like competition, you just want singular technological hegemony instead of technological democracy.
