    This forced sale of TikTok for national security is a farce because they were already forced to move their service to the US on an American-owned hosting provider, and they have already put people with a history of aligning with “American interests” into executive positions, like CEO Shou Zi Chew and vice president Michael Beckerman. I think the US “intelligence community” already has everything it needs to monitor and control TikTok.

      I have a geoIP alias on my firewall and can still see TikTok sending telemetry to a Chinese CDN.

        If so, then maybe the US “intelligence community” doesn’t actually see that as a problem, despite the cold war propaganda.

            Anglo in the sense of the Anglosphere, I think: Five Eyes. Five Eyes in basically the inner core of the imperial core.

      It doesn’t matter where the servers are located physically but who can access the data that’s on them

        They were physically relocated to the US so that the US can access the data, as people like Edward Snowden and Mark Klein have shown us. I’m sure the US knows precisely what data is and isn’t being sent to China.
