I doythink those are as different as you say. Through the Patriot Act, american corporate spying is US spying.

Okay but one wants to efficiently sell me worthless trash and the other would happily kill me and take my property given an opportunity, so...

But the one selling you trash is also sharing that data with the ones who would kill you.

That's fair but I feel like it's not in Google's best interests to collect your photos library, clipboard, message history, contacts info, SSN, banking details, etc and then sell all of it to China for cheap. The extent of Data Collection, and the very obvious malicious intent of it, embedded in TikTok sets it worlds apart.

He's obviously not talking about China here

The US has actively used that kind of info to extrajudically kill people, we know that for sure. We don't know if China actually did that (they probably did).
