The Chinese government is spying on us through Tik Tok. But, if Microsoft buys Tik Tok, then it will be an American company spying on us through Tik Tok and then passing the information to the Chinese government. That would be so much better.

The big Tech companies seem to be a problem.

Why would MS pass or share the info on their servers to China. If MS owns the servers, China would be kept off the servers, and the US government would be monitoring any potential spying.

When it comes to 'spying' on their customers, it's already been happening for over 20 years, and that's by Google and Apple and Twitter and Facebook and MS, and any other company that does 'data or personal' info collection on the internet. Collecting information for nefarious reasons is a different problem. Basically, if people don't want to be 'spied' on, they'd have to stay off the internet.
