if it was a security concern, they would have banned shein, aliexpress and other chinese platform long ago.

[@angelalim0502]

Yes, soon they will if these “Chinese” companies becomes a “threat” (by US self-defined standard).

Even unpopular sites can read your phone data and pc data. Unless one setup the phone history tp clearing it daily or not saving browsing history.

I never downloaded Tik-Tok and somehow my music still found its way onto the platform and I never got any monetary credit

As a Chinese I am confused that why his English name is Shou Chew, just ridiculous. Maybe Singapore has a different law.

[@HienNguyen-sh4jt]

I sincerely advise you to stop playing Tiktok immediately, Firstly, the CEO who founded Tiktok doesn't even allow his children to play Tiktok anymore. Second, Tiktok takes away a lot of your energy, will and concentration, wasting your precious life, making your true missions in life impossible to achieve. Do you think it is correct? Third, over time, your reason and learning ability will seriously degenerate and you will be completely controlled by it. Therefore, the best thing you can do at this time is to advise everyone to stop playing Tiktok and leave the Chinese Communist Party as soon as possible. Thank you very much.

[@kingsufi6164]

I don't get why even ST use the term Chinese government. They are chinese, yes, but, should use the term China Gov. Chinese gov you think what, singapore eh? HAHAHHAHA. No wonder the congress was so confused. Is singapore part of china? HAHAHHAHAA
