Meanwhile, American users are flocking to RedNote because authorities have worked themselves into a lather over privacy concerns about TikTok, while U.S. tech giants harvest user data with industrial efficiency. The difference? American data collection is done for profit, and Chinese data collection is done for control. Pick your poison.

Hard to argue Zuck and Elon don't want control either...

I’d argue profit and control are two sides of the same coin

"In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women."

Then when you get the power, then you get the women.”

Then when you get the power you tell the plebs to make more money. "This is America. If you don't make more money (for me), you're a douchebag".
