A little off topic, but this is how the rest of the world feels about Microsoft/Apple/Google/Amazon/Meta/etc.
America is angry at TikTok, but every time I bring up the fact that I, as a Canadian, am forced to use American software/services, where America steals my data, I am told to "stop using it, no one is forcing you".
You cannot find a job these days that doesn't use some kind of American spyware. Microsoft Office, Gsuite, Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS, AWS, Azure, the list just goes on and on..
I am not in support of TikTok stealing my data, but I hate more that America steals my data, and they can actually negotiate with my government to get me in trouble if I do something they deem bad.
