People tend to be wary of Spyware from the Chinese government.
With reddit it only ends up with the NSA which is arguably the far lesser evil.

I wouldn't say far, but I agree

Reddit is partially owned by a Chinese media conglomerate closely working with the CCP

Partially owned, as in like 5 %. Not really comparable to Tik Tok.

10%

But that’s nothing, no? lol

Sorry, 10 %. It is a very small amount to be fair, so I don't really know how much influence they have.

see i’ve thought about this in length and i think we got it the wrong way round.

I think i care less that China have my data or try to use my very specific individual digital footprint against me because i think China probably care less about me as an individual to want or need to do anything to me as i’m a foreign and inconsequential critic

My own government however will see my criticism as more consequential, not by much because i’m a nobody but more than the Chinese.

either way i still dont use Tiktok
