So much drama in the US over this but it's apparently merely a money-losing afterthought for its owner.
It's almost like making money is not the primary purpose of this website ๐ค
Or ... maybe the US isn't the only country in the world?
Fwiw I'm not American.
It's not worth anything, your argument was that the US being such a small percentage of tiktoks userbase meant that the American market is only worthwhile to TikTok as a spying tool. Which does not make any sense.
I'm saying that tiktok has other markets in other countries, and the US only represents a small part of their global reach, so of course tiktok would only be a small percentage of their userbase.
