How can you judge and say it is incorrect, if you don’t actually know all details? Your opinion is not much more correct. What you probably mean is, I should not spread info that is not proven to be correct.
They are not sending data to China, they are sending it to Singapore.
but nothing has been proven (not saying it won’t be, but we can’t operate on speculation)
If it’s not proven, then you are speculating that China does not get the data as well. If that was correct what you are saying, then the US government would not ban Tik Tok. Especially you follow up with a statement
China can get “all the data from US citizens” outside of TikTok.
which is probably harder and more complicated than just getting it from Tik Tok. ByteDance is a company for collecting information, so its right in the hands of China.
TikTok is literally a separate entity from ByteDance. They are owned by ByteDance, but they are not the same company and operate separately. Again, you are conflating the two

Probably not harder. Keeping a multinational social media platform going seems way more complex than buying the info. Which is why the US government does it (it is also a way to skirt the constitution, BTW)

So they have access to the user data from TikTok. Why wouldn’t they are products from that company? Companies split up and organize together to overcome limitations of the system. This is not fan fiction, it is reality how many companies operate.
I am not the one claiming the data is sent to China, you are.
No, the US goverment claims that. You mistaken this with my opinion. I am just telling the goverment is blocking Tik Tok because they think China is doing this.
You clearly refuse to understand what a subsidiary is, and how that relationship works in regards to local regulations.

Fuck off with your goalpost moving, bad faith, devil’s advocate bullshit. Don’t waste people’s time with bullshit you may or may not believe, ask for evidence, then bail when confronted with it. Don’t be a shitass, be better

That is not how the burden of proof works. I am not the one claiming the data is sent to China, you are. Please provide evidence of that.
I am claiming the data is sent to Singapore, which all evidence points to
