    TikTok is Chinese spyware. Chrome is American spyware. Anyone in their right mind should stop using both.

    I hear this all the time. I have this conversation on the regular.

    Them: “Oh you think Tik Tok is spyware?”

    Me: “yes”

    Them: “I’ll have you know so is Google, Apple, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Microsoft, and all the big American companies too”

    Me: “Yeah, that’s why I don’t use them”

    Them: gasp “you’re just paranoid bro are you a drug dealer or something?”

    Me: “no, I just like my privacy. You probably wouldn’t like it if some guy was following you keeping tabs about everything you do either.”

    Them: “well I’ve got nothing to hide”

    Me: “maybe the next person in power might see your current and past beliefs illegal”

    Media platforms are beyond spying. You have nothing to offer.

    It’s all about controlling information and feeding you what you need to see.
