That's... not a great analogy. I trust my wife a lot more than I trust Mark Zuckerberg (or Xi Jinping).

Statistically, (and not knowing your wife), you’re a lot more likely to get sent to the poor house because of your wife than Mark Zuckerberg.

Because it's US vs China and companies like Meta/Google/Twitter are already treated poorly in China? Ppl are already asking these kind of questions even long before this, why should we allow companies such as Tiktok while so many 'Western' tech companies are banned in China?

Are they? Which companies are those?

You must be living under the rock if you don't know many products has been banned in China for many years, notably but not restricted to Facebook, Google, Twitter. https://www.gadgetsnow.com/slideshows/10-popular-apps-and-we...

Apple's data in China is handled by China government affiliated entity https://technode.com/2018/01/10/apple-icloud-guizhou/ . China's typical play book in tech field is to have the original products banned and have their own copycat flourish.

They are already NOT playing fair.

What? Am I not allowed to question this ridiculous claim?

Are you referring to the claim that there are western tech companies blocked in mainland China? This is a well known fact. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_websites_blocked_in_ma...

You should inform yourself of basic knowledge.

Yes but the United States government trusts Mark Zuckerberg more than Xi Jinping.

Isn’t it that they can get access to all of Facebooks data on request, but not so with TikTok? I doubt trust comes into it.

Of course they do - they work together. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zqEvQKO5_gM

I trust Xi more than Zuckerberg.

Zuckerberg doesn't disappear people or put them in camps

OTOH, Xi has never imprisoned me for posting satire.

Has Zuckerberg?

Internet ban = imprisonment and a human rights violation according to certain HNers lmaooo
