TikTok users have been deleting the app at a higher rate since the company announced that its U.S. operations would be housed in a new joint venture.

The short-form video platform’s daily average app uninstalls in the U.S. have increased nearly 150% over the past five days compared with the previous three months, market intelligence firm Sensor Tower told CNBC.

What a load of bootlicking crap.

It's very simple, if you're willing to go to such lengths to defend China using spyware, collecting your data, and using it as they please... then why not go use Chinese social media yourself? If you think China is a non threat and all the concerns people have about it are fugazi, then why not go use their platforms? They're bigger, have way more content, way more users, and they're better developed than the Fediverse... again why you here if you don't value things like privacy, freedom, ownership, and control over your data? It sounds to me like you have inconsistent values.
