were all the concerns about tik tok's vulnerability a while ago on r*ddit just sino phobia or was there actually cause for alarm?

Why should Americans care if China has their data? The fuck are they going to do with it? They should be MUCH more scared of the US Government.

Just Sinophobia. Tik Tok isn’t half as good at getting your data as western owned Social Platforms.

Wow! Douyin, an app hosted on the Alibaba cloud, it connects to Alibaba IPs! Who would think?

Next we learn that the Amazon app always connects to AWS…

Also the author raise a concern about a data leak by another customer of Alibaba cloud like this had anything do do with them or Douyin.
