I read that article and they never explained exactly why, specifically, it's dangerous. They just used vague terms like "spying", "problematic", and "malevolent".

If you’ve ever used the popular app TikTok, then the personal data from your phone – like browsing history, contacts, messages, and your location – could have been sent to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Whether you realize or not, the app is quietly downloading your private information.
quote:
A recent U.S. lawsuit has alleged TikTok transferred vast quantities of private and personally-identifiable user data to servers in China. And just last month, another U.S. lawsuit was filed against TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, alleging it violated child privacy laws by collecting the data of Musical.ly users under the age of 13 without their parents’ consent and then sold that data to third-party advertisers.

quote:
US politicians’ concern over TikTok began with an investigation the Guardian published on September 25, which revealed leaked documents that showed TikTok instructing its moderators to censor videos that mentioned topics sensitive to the Communist Party of China: Tiananmen Square, Tibetan independence, and the religious group Falun Gong, for instance. The Guardian’s investigation came after the Washington Post noted that a search for Hong Kong-related topics on TikTok showed virtually zero content about the ongoing and widely publicized pro-democracy protests, which were a major topic on other social media sites at the time.
quote:
“These Chinese-owned apps are increasingly being used to censor content and silence open discussion on topics deemed sensitive by the Chinese Government and Community Party,” Rubio wrote in a letter addressed to US Department of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. “The Chinese government’s nefarious efforts to censor information inside free societies around the world cannot be accepted and pose serious long-term challenges to the US and our allies.”
quote:
“Security experts have voiced concerns that China’s vague patchwork of intelligence, national security, and cybersecurity laws compel Chinese companies to support and cooperate with intelligence work controlled by the Chinese Communist Party,” read the letter, addressed to acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire. “Without an independent judiciary to review requests made by the Chinese government for data or other actions, there is no legal mechanism for Chinese companies to appeal if they disagree with a request.”
quote:
With TikTok, though, there are a few big concerns: One of the more problematic implications is a 2017 Chinese law, which requires Chinese companies to comply with government intelligence operations if asked. That means that companies based in China have little recourse to decline should the government request to access data.
quote:
he second is what the Chinese Communist Party might do with that data. Samantha Hoffman, an analyst at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute told The Verge that “The [Communist] Party of China collects bulk data overseas and then uses it to help with things that relate to state security like propaganda and identifying public sentiment to understand how people feel about a particular issue,” she said. “It’s about controlling the media environment globally. Once you have control, you can use it to influence and shape the conversation.”
quote:
The Chinese government has a history of gaining control over nodes in the information system,” added Sarah Cook, a senior research analyst for China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan at Freedom House. “They don’t always mobilize them right away to harm freedom of expression, until something threatening happens and then they do. It seems clear TikTok is censoring information related to the Hong Kong protests, but at the same time, even if it’s not happening that much now, it’s really only a matter of time before it does.”

It's going to be hard to convince people, especially young people, why it's not good to use it if they can't give examples of exactly why it's bad.
Because it's meant to scare parents not teach young people

As soon as I saw the name I left that page up because I knew the thread was about to get whacked. Searched FB, IG even linkedIn. Nothing came up. I mean, she made it easy taking screenshots of all the pics so emily knew exactly who it was. I would love to know the connection there. Who is she? What does she know? etc.

Read above Xi Jinping. Its not just a "scare tactic". The federal government bars its employees from using tik tok and there are bipartisan inquiries into the security risks of the app widely used by young Americans. So you can cut the partisan hackery for your mainland China pals.

Getting close to time to stop using all social media
it was a cool experiment, but it is clear to me now that the human condition ruins the idea of social media and turns it into a weapon against our fellow man instead of a tool.

There have also been bipartisan inquiries into the security of Facebook, Twitter, Zoom, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, etc. That doesn't make Tik Tok unique in any way.
Trump bars employees from using a platform that makes him look bad. Not news.

She gave a 3 word name. It was unique and only one of those existed in the country. It was an elderly lady from BR. Obviously not running buddies with Emily.
Maybe the next thread will last.

Give it a week. Someone on the OT will start the official break up thread moments after it's no longer FB official....which I put the O/U at before next weekend because that thread 100% will make her re-think and question shite, or it should.

It's weird because I feel like Tik Tok had been around for years and just recently got big here. Older crowd also flocked to it during shutdown.
I enjoyed it at first. But there are young people sexualizing themselves and a lot of racist shite on there. If you like or comment on one political video, then the damn algorithm gets you stuck there and that's all you see.

Tigerdroppings is a data mining operations started by a government agency with the sole purpose of sowing cultural Marxism and harvesting personal data?
I don’t think so.
That’s like saying fried candied bacon and a stick of raw celery are the same thing. They’re both food right?

I’ve never seen Tik Tok, what’s the difference between that and YouTube?
