I honestly can't parse that sentence, it seems pretty loaded to the point that it makes no sense to me.
TikTok shares your data more than any other app and it’s unclear where it goes

Tried that already, didn't work..

Trump tried doing something like that in a predictably half-assed, illegal and obviously inappropriate manner:

TikTok should be banned in the US. China banned all of our homegrown social networks, its pretty standard international precedent to ban theirs, given the security risks.
China didn't specifically "ban" US social networks because they were US social networks. The companies themselves didn't want to comply with Chinese laws so they cannot operate there. It's the same as Facebook now threatening to leave the EU if they have to comply with EU data protection laws.
They didn't want to comply with laws requiring giving the Chinese government full access to their data.

#64What kind of data? TikTok knows what content I interact to... on tiktok. That's it. Unless they have an android 0-day or something. It has no access to my mic, camera, browsing history, contacts list, or anything useful. Guess who has access to all that, if they want it, though? Google and Facebook (through whatsapp). What is the privacy concern here, exactly?
If you've logged in it can potentially match your login information or email address to other activity on the web. TikTok's servers could also place you geographically somewhat roughly based on ip address.
Outside of that I agree. It's unclear what data TikTok is supposedly gathering that other apps aren't already and why that's a cause for alarm.

I'm from the UK, so it's a relative concept. The US, except for some fairly small pockets of actual socialist left-wing thinking, is much further to the right. A lot of western europe loved Obama, but in reality he was closer to the UK Conservative party than the UK Labour party. But I'm even more curious, would you not describe Tucker Carlson as far right in his views?
On social issues average European and its country is way more conservative than average American. You're comparing economical standpoint here and I agree with that.
At great risk here, I have to say I agree based on my own experience. Often times people conflate government-funded systems like healthcare or taxpayer-funded university as being socially progressive. I wouldn't do that. You can have universal healthcare and ban gay marriage in your country, for example.

#69One thing that I found very interesting when I looked into what TikTok does: it's scary good at aggregating data about you. I live in a foreign country, my phone's network is behind a VPN to a different foreign country and I gave the app no extra permissions, yet somehow I still got recommended content from the country where I was born. Since it's a small country there's no way that's a coincidence. I'm both intrigue…
I would guess it zeroed in on common interests. Videos you like, comment on, or even just watch for more than one time can all give clues into what interests you.

I'm really curious, can you name someone who you think is just "right"? Like who isn't "far-right" in your opinion?

Tucker Carlson is unhinged from reality and espouses wild conspiracies which falls squarely in the far right.
