So the difference between the current ownership, who may be handing data over to the Chinese government and are using an algorithm that promotes undesirable content for "engagement" and propaganda purposes, and the new ownership, who I'm sure will happily sell data to anyone who pays up including thinly disguised fronts for the Chinese government, and will also use an algorithm that promotes undesirable content for "engagement" and propaganda purposes is . . . what, really, at the end of the day?
American dudes getting rich instead of Chinese dudes, though they'll make the Chinese dudes rich in the process.
