If you look at how Douyin's algorithms work versus TikTok's, it is very clear to see that TikTok is designed from top to bottom to be a psy op against the western world. It is an express intent to elevate citizens domestically and sow infighting and negativity everywhere else. The data of citizens worldwide going directly to the CCP is another issue, since TikTok's staff and Douyin's staff and infrastructure communicate and share with each other.
So the data collection by itself isn't by itself the issue, the Chinese private sector not actually being private, is the issue. And the CCP is an organization much more nefarious and hostile than Mark Fuckerburg or Bill Gates or anyone else in American big tech, so YES, it IS justified to be more discriminating against TikTok, they are a unique case of worldwide platform being directly entangled with a fascist authoritarian government. To say going after TikTok is racist or xenophobic is scapegoating the real issue, and pushing that narrative is playing defense for a country that's essentially a dictatorship that hates your very existence, so don't fall for it, Majority Report
