TikTok's daily active users in the U.S. is also just about 5% of ByteDance's DAUs worldwide, said one of the sources.

So much drama in the US over this but it's apparently merely a money-losing afterthought for its owner.

It's almost like making money is not the primary purpose of this website ๐Ÿค”

Or ... maybe the US isn't the only country in the world?

I have a Geography degree lmao, but also, you're an asshole. I don't even know what you're trying to accomplish with this comment.

Your sensing of humour is failing.

Didn't seem like a joke to me, just seemed dismissive and rude. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ People on this site frequently pull this ๐Ÿค“oh yeah name a whatever๐Ÿค“ shit unironically, so unless Lemmy gets a culture makeover I'm going to assume people are being assholes.

All that talking and you still ain't even named one other country besides united states. The whole world is united States.

It's not worth anything, your argument was that the US being such a small percentage of tiktoks userbase meant that the American market is only worthwhile to TikTok as a spying tool. Which does not make any sense.

I'm saying that tiktok has other markets in other countries, and the US only represents a small part of their global reach, so of course tiktok would only be a small percentage of their userbase.
