When people think of a "data breach," their natural reaction is to worry about losing information like passwords. But founder of the social media app Gettr, Jason Miller, says much more is at risk.

"What it's about is they're going to know more about your mental makeup than you do, and that's scary," he told The Epoch Times on Oct. 1.

Apps backed by the Chinese state, like TikTok—which is targeting the prized Gen Z and Alpha cohorts—are not only collecting data from their users, but giving Beijing a complete understanding of the mental state of the users who will be our next generation of leaders, according to Miller.
