But America spies on non-American citizens in the exact same way as TikTok does. The US complaining here is just hypocrisy. And the US has been doing it for far longer than the Chinese have.

So as a European citizen there is no difference between USian or Chinese Big Tech in terms of spying on me.

China doesn't let anyone spy on their citizens as they ban all foreign social media etc. That's the difference.
