No, but really: Facebook collects very private data, including personal messages. Google has even more sensitive information. I also don't see why suddenly TikTok is such a concern, except for sinophobia or pure misinformation.
There's a large and substantial difference between "Google has your data" and "Google abuses your data".
You might have doubts whether the limits set by Western authorities on Google's use of your data would be effective, or about the ability of those authorities to investigate and enforce, but I think we can all agree the odds are much better than for TikTok where no chance exists at all.
Snowden showed 10 (!) years ago that american tech companies share data with the us government even when that's clearly against the law. That, in my book, is abusing my data. EU courts agree with me and are limiting how much data can be shared with us-based businesses.
This presumes people don't also have a problem with FB and/or Google. Speaking for myself I have concerns with all of them. I almost never interact with FB properties, Google I've sadly become attached to but I'm not one for Apple products so it is sort of hard to get away from the big G.
> I checked if it had code I had written at my previous employer that has a license allowing its use only for free games and requiring attaching the license.
yeah it does
That's a pretty bad example. He prompted it using the exact function header taken from the code he is complaining about.
It'd be much more interesting if he setup a function that was doing a similar thing but with different parameter types and names, and a different order of parameters (ie, like a real problem).
Does that matter? A code provided should be provided with the license needed to use the code, otherwise the user is opening themselves up to litigation.
Hence why I agree with another comment somewhere that Microsoft is banking on software developers not litigating about use of their open source code in closed source projects.
Love does not mean spending every waking hour on something.
I love my spouse, yet I need to socialize with other people, as well as alone time.
