But what are the Chinese going to be able to do you? If you are an American living under the American government theres much more they could do to you, such as locking you up.

Have you seen what Russia has been doing to us with a few basement bloggers?

Edit: it’s quite remarkable really

That is a strange question. If you use any service to consume media, the service has a huge influence on what information you receive. It is a common complaint over media. Using a service which is under control of someone who doesn't have your best interest in mind, is giving power over your media consumption to that actor. Which is bad. That is why you should care about who e.h. owns and controls the Washington Post.

Now, about TikTok... Well think about it.
