But they said unknown threat. Everyone knows that TikTok is a tool for CCP spying and propaganda, but somehow most of us don't care.

every social/digital media platform is leveraged for spying and propaganda. if you didn't want to be spied on you'd throw your whole damn phone away. it's just the way shit is now. either accept that reality, ignore it, or become a hermit.
