China is trying to take over the liberty world secretly by “soft skills” as TikTok, the morden Silk Road- by cultural & economic way. The free world should alert, should NOT only look at RMB and what called “convenience”- these are price of freedom. BoycottTikTok BoycottChina

This is scary. Not only TikTok, also beware of Wechat and Meitu and Weibo...which I will never install on my phone.

It proves that all Chinese corporations are untrustworthy!

CCPInfiltration antiCCP antichinazi

Say NO to TikTok and CCP .

Pls stop using Chinese apps, esp. spying apps like TikTok

This case is critical. The world should stand with this brave lady to combat with spying China.

Not surprised at all. Why on Earth are there still tons of foolish people using CCP related software to disclose their personal information of themselves? Aren't there more interesting things to do? They are not only harming themselves but all around them sharing the data.

seriously, WHAT app/company DOESN'T steal ur data/info? FB, TikTok, Amazon, Apple, Google, TransUnion... they ALL steal/sell ur info. ur info is more precious than ur life to these companies.

Better checking other Chinese devices and apps, and you will find all of them sending your information to China antichinazi

Their apps all is the same with spy

The ccp is violating people's right within the country and banning people's speeches that hurts their totalitarian reign. Installing spy devices in a regular app is just the tip of the iceberg. anticcp

If you are aware of privacy, don't use any apps from China. CCP is not trustworthy. Please wake up and fight with Hong Kong. BoycottChina

suspicious Its inefficient for monitor every registered and non-registered users on TikTok, it's probably a tool for silencing iedas CCP does not like or study people on the west than keeping track of every people but i may horribly wrong boycottchineseproducts

Let the court decide Fair enough? StandWithHongKong BoycottChina

soshk hk Plz stop using products from China immediately unless u can accept being monitored & censored by ccp in ur own country. Its time for the world to resist. If u choose to be silence now, u will never have another chance to speak out. Hong Kong’s today, world’s tomorrow
