I agree with a lot of what you said. I think we need a digital bill of rights to protect things like online privacy and personal data.

There's two reasons TikTok is different:

Being controlled by a foreign adversary is not comparable to a corporation trying to make money. They will use the data they collect to weaken American interests and push their own.
As I understand it, the data collected by TikTok is so excessive it makes Facebook look mild.

China isn't an adversary. It's a competitor to America. You aren't at war with China, and both China and America heavily depend on each other and are strong trading partners. This is your propaganda talking.
Lol no, Facebook and Google collect orders of magnitude more data about you, your life, your job, your friends and colleagues, your medical status, everything.
