A true patriot supports local spyware!

I don't discriminate. I say the data protection of all of these services is terrible and you shouldn't use them.

This forced sale of TikTok for national security is a farce because they were already forced to move their service to the US on an American-owned hosting provider, and they have already put people with a history of aligning with “American interests” into executive positions, like CEO Shou Zi Chew and vice president Michael Beckerman. I think the US “intelligence community” already has everything it needs to monitor and control TikTok.

23andMe is much, much worse than the others due to the nature of the data it sells.

How come every thread I see about this topic, there is nobody who is concerned about letting the federal government dictate which apps you can and cannot use to communicate with other people? This is some 1984 shit.

I would say make laws about data collection, usage, etc. instead of banning TikTok.

Heck, fix more important problems like income disparity, hunger, homelessness, healthcare, our wasteful spending, so many things more important and yet we're wasting time on TikTok.

I don't think people think this is a good use of time.

Seriously, it's government overreach and ignoring freedom of speech, etc.

"we will harvest your DNA and put a literal implant into your brain"

Spying on user data is a constitutional right of US companies, what are the poor going to live on when they can't traffic with your data, or when a disgusting red communist company steals their bread? A little more proper patriotism, guys. Bad enough that the EU is cutting the wings of this companies, therefore also don't use EU apps to make America great again.

Isn't spotify European?

Spottily is a Swedish company

Just install an alternative app Store like Aurora or install it directly from TikTok sites.

For open source projects, you can also use Obtainium or F-Droid

Wtf is Spotify doing?
