Do you truly believe that Google, Meta or other tech giants are not selling your data to CCP if TikTok can supposedly get away with this?

Probably depends on who can force who to which extend and gain how much.
I'd argue the US still has the most control, may that be good or bad..

I dont want my data with any of them, so i prefer smaller alternatives, designed to be more secure, but probably also more of a hassle if stuff breaks..
Sadly these giants probably still get plenty of data because they control most of the internet.

Companies usually don't have to be forced into profit.
