So it's fine for Russians to pay Facebook for political ads using customer data to target them? But it's not ok for TikTok to have US customer data?
Trump, you lose me some place.

(3,473 posts)From what I have read, they collect information for targeted advertising which is what Facebook and Google do. Do what exactly is the difference?

(7,715 posts)In his desperate attempt to deflect blame for the utter incompetency (bordering on criminality) in failing to handle the pandemic, he is going to dump on China. China. China. China. I think this is one more example, and we should expect it throughout the election.
It is a very dangerous game to play, especially when we have a Russian agent as our "President".

President Donald Trump tried to wage war against former Vice President Joe Biden for being too close to China, but it was revealed Sunday that the Trump administrations appointees allowed supplemental money from the Paycheck Protection Program to be given to China-backed businesses in the United States.
The New York Times cited a study from Horizon Advisory on the publicly available data, $192 million to $419 million has gone to more than 125 companies that Chinese entities own or invest in. Many of the loans were quite sizable; at least 32 Chinese companies received loans worth more than $1 million, with those totaling as much as $180 million.
