If you believe your country would hand over any citizen to the US just because the US said so, your issue is with your country, not the US. the problem with China spying on the west through TikTok is that they can use that information to manipulate the population without stepping foot on foreign soil. And they’re already doing this with TikTok. The content Chinese users get vs the content western users get is so drastically different that they’re not even the same platform. This int about extradition, it’s about information and control. And while you could argue that the US uses these platforms to control other countries, and I would point out that Russia is clearly much more effective at using them, and they don’t even own them.
you’re entire argument is that america collecting canadian citizens information is worse than china because china can’t extradite you… because they’re under such poor terms with western governments that none of them would extradite a national to china. and this argument ignores 2 things, 1, the evidence that these countries legally subpoenaed from these corporations needs to be significant for any of the western nations to extradite to any of each other. 2, the fact that china has such a poor reputation on the national stage that these countries will not cooperate with tiny bullshit their citizens might get into with the CCP. you have to be dumb blind and stupid to think extradition is the issue here.
your simple point holds no water. canada won’t extradite a national to the US without evidence and legal charges being brought. china can’t extradite you because canada won’t cooperate with them.
