Thanks but if like to keep my banking data private. Along with everything else.
The fact that people are ok with this blows my fucking mind. Corps literally normalised being buttfucked.
I'm pretty sure most people who are doing this are trying, in their own way, to make a point.
It wasn't about "national security". It was about a large digital meeting place where ideas could be shared, or feelings and frustrations at their government could be seen and felt by others who felt the same. Big Brother doesn't like that, unless it is on US Corporate Approved Social Media, where they can promptly shut you down, or get their algorithm to put post with specific keywords out of the eyes of as many as possible.
So, instead of creating actual data privacy laws, as they should have, they decided to attack TikTok, because Mark Zuckerburg got in front of congress during whatever case it was that brought his lizard ass in the room (maybe the Cambridge Analytica scandal?) and said that TikTok was more dangerous than his own platform.
There you go. It was never about "national security", as there were much better ways to handle that than banning one single app.
Doing the the thing in direct opposition to what an authority is demanding is like a trauma response or something.
it's also a good idea when the authority is being a piece of shit and grew too comfortable in their position.
moving your data from your domestic authoritarian to a foreign authoritarian isn't the gotcha you think it is
It is if you want to stick it to the domestic authoritarian
The data is stored on US soil, so whatever they are able to gather, the US government is allowing it. Which means… all social media. So, ban all social media then if it’s such a risk, right? Or.. I don’t know.. maybe make an actual data privacy law so no one can steal and hoover up your precious data?
Look m8 IDC how authoritarian they are, if China wants to see how much brain rot I can get through in an 8 hour period that's fine, it's not like they're an authority over me
In the US, especially for some marginalized groups (trans folks mostly right now) there's an active push by the govt to make people hate us, I don't want THAT authority to have any of my fucking data, especially when analysis of my scrolling habits could tell them when I'm most likely home or whatnot.
Given the choice between an authoritarian and an authoritarian, I'll take the authoritarian who can't exert power over me thanks
Except they're not just both authoritarian; they're both capitalist. So TikTok (or whatever) will just sell your data to brokers and it'll eventually end up in the hands of Americans who would visit your home.
Are you somehow not aware that Google/Facebook/Twitter literally do the same thing? Wouldn’t it make more sense to create a data privacy law so that everyone benefits? I don’t understand why that’s so hard to grasp for some of these folks.
It would make more sense to use alternatives to those social networks. Yes, it is still bad when Americans do it.
You and I have practically zero control over privacy laws. We're living in an oligarchy, not a democracy.

China was caught logging every keystroke through this. It's why some revamped it's permissions a while ago.
In China it shows people how to be good, science, technology., education, nature.
Here it show kids to eat tide pods.
It's a propaganda method for China.
Yes, surely no other apps log keystrokes. Certainly not Gboard!
It's irrelevant whether other apps do it -- it's still wrong.
See, to me, it’s not irrelevant. Either make a blanket data privacy law, or shut the fuck up.
Right? If logging keystrokes is "wrong", then ban that! I've never downloaded TikTok in my life but this entire thing is so transparently manufactured.
Of course not, Google does no evil. Everyone knows that.

I am still angry at Facebook for normalizing using your real name. That eroded a lot of basic security practices.
Now little 7yos share mommy's credit card in YouTube comments.
