Navarro on TikTok: "The mothers of America" have to worry about China tracking their kids (Axios, 8/04/20)
White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said Monday that the Chinese-owned social media app TikTok poses a threat to privacy and national security, telling the Axios Re:Cap podcast, "Let's not downplay the threat here: the mothers of America have to worry about whether the Chinese Communist Party knows where their children are."
Privacy hysteria is a function of delusions of self-importance. No one cares what you have to say. If Congress wanted to do something useful it could create property rights in the data we generate so folks like Tik-Tok had to pay us to harvest it.
