And I suppose the reason all of the euro countries share information with each other and don’t let China into their special club is just a natural phenomenon? Completely arbitrary and random?
Definitely can’t be because they’re the original settlers with historical prejudices against ANYONE they perceive as Asian; that totally doesn’t exist according to that utter sinkhole
Not random for sure. They are a seperate power structure. The US does share some data with China, and also western countries don’t share a lot of data with each other as well. All nations are constantly spying on each other. It isn’t infrequent you hear about some NATO country spy being caught spying on some NATO nation. Governments are about control, and they’ll try to increase that control with any method possible.
Oracle is an American company so they can get searched by the government at will. The government has access to TikTok data around as easily as the PRC does, it’s just a matter of corporations being able to grab a profitable asset & create Anti-China sentiment.
There’s no way in hell that data isn’t encrypted. That’d be very poor handling of data, and probably illegal in most places, at least the EU. Just because data is on a server doesn’t mean you access it with access to the server. Sure, the videos and stuff are probably raw, but any PII is almost certainly encrypted, or it should be if it isn’t.
If TikTok was owned by a German or English corporation, would it be facing this kind of scrutiny? Of fucking course not, don’t be dense.
No, because they’d share the information with the US. Just like China doesn’t allow US corporations into China. Don’t be dense.

TikTok stores American data via Oracle. They also have servers in Virginia and Singapore.
Sure, you have to store data with some locality so round trip times aren’t horrible. It doesn’t mean anyone has access to it or control over it.
