@stagger9660 — No they aren’t. But they have has several “spying” incidents in the past couple of years, one resulted in the expulsion or almost the entire Chinese embassy in California as they had set up a massive internet and wireless interception/eavesdropping system to monitor and report as much as possible from Silicon Valley companies back home. This is not a theoretical question, they ARE spying, not necessarily only on government, but on every U.S. tech company. We, U.S. believe business and government are separate, but in China it’s all the government, with ties into everything. TikTok is but one Chinese tool, and the little program sends massive amounts of data, selectively, back to corporate. EVERY SINGLE US GOVERNMENT OR BUSINESS SHOULD BAN TICTOK FROM EVERY DEVICE IN THEIR CONTROL. Look at some of the reports of monitoring access data, emails, photos, voice messages (attachments), schedules and documents can be and have been flagged and found accessed and transferred by the TICTOK app back to TICTOK, and presumably to China. Again, this is not could be what if or maybes, these are known facts. Companies have seen patents filed and products on other country’s shelves that were still in the planning stages, that could only have been stolen through electronic means, often traced to company emails accessed on tablets/phones with TicTok apps installed.
