I for one am shocked that TikTok is gathering usage statistics. Just SHOCKED!
The DoJ is desperate to try and pretend TikTok is doing something evil rather than what every website on the planet does. As if lemmy mods aren't collecting data on here right now.
I am a mod of a community that I lost interest in after I created it, still exists though, so I am a mod.
I have an entire notebook full of notes like this:
Tell me you don't understand running a service without saying a word.
Tell me you don't know the difference between an admin and a moderator without telling me you don't know the difference between an admin and a moderator
Always hilarious to see .world rubes defending Chinese spyware. Never change.
... as opposed to American Spyware? I'm no fan of any governments, including both Chinese and American (not fully anti government, just think all need drastic improvments) but while I understand calling it Spyware, the focus on Chinese feels a bit sinophobic. Facebook does bad spying work too, plus has run experiments on users live. Cambridge Analytica stole info for political means as well. Google, ISPs, and many other info sites collect and sell info on you, and many of them will submit info to governments when requested. X/Twitter is run by an egotistical MAGA idiot who is blocking stuff he doesn't like but allowing Nazis to be broadcast to everyone.
They should all be considered similarly problematic.
Yes, even as opposed to American spyware.
It is both more invasive and more dangerous. Anybody who says otherwise is either an agent of the Chinese gov or just ignorant. Probably intentionally so.
