We should be saying both are bad. We need much stronger, EU like privacy laws.
And how would privacy laws be applied to TikTok, which is outside the jurisdiction of these laws?
The only way to get TikTok to have any privacy policies at all is by threatening to block them.
Which is what's happening.
TikTok isn't outside of that jurisdiction, they are operating in places like the US. If they violate privacy laws, you remove them from accessing that market
