Facebook confirms data sharing with Chinese companies. More at the link.

The Chinese government has complete control and access to all businesses in China.

TikTok is not for sale. And for good reason. The Chinese economy is in serious straights! ByteDance and TikTok make billions. Ppl don’t understand how big TikTok is! America with its 170 million users represents only 2% of their viewers. For 2% who would sell out?
