    Sure, you have to store data with some locality so round trip times aren’t horrible. It doesn’t mean anyone has access to it or control over it.

      Oracle is an American company so they can get searched by the government at will. The government has access to TikTok data around as easily as the PRC does, it’s just a matter of corporations being able to grab a profitable asset & create Anti-China sentiment.

        There’s no way in hell that data isn’t encrypted. That’d be very poor handling of data, and probably illegal in most places, at least the EU. Just because data is on a server doesn’t mean you access it with access to the server. Sure, the videos and stuff are probably raw, but any PII is almost certainly encrypted, or it should be if it isn’t.
