That is why its being banned.

Has nothing to do with freedom of speech.

They dont care about your average Joe or Jane using it.

They want more people like AOC to download and install it on their phones so they can collect sensitive data from people in high positions in government.

Downside: left gives each other handjobs about how this is all about Tulsa.

Upside: one less China infiltration.

I say take down Zoom next.

Additional upside: it was degenerate trash anyways influencing young girls to be E thots.

Essentially ACLU said that millions of Americans are no longer being allowed to unconditionally share their data with China.

I hate to get all tin foil, but unless you mint your own silicon chips and program your own software and operating systems, everything electronic is suspect. Getting rid of tik tok at this point is as about as useful as dleting all those viagra emails sitting in your emails spam folder. Another one will just pop up, and it doesn't even necessarily have to be a Chinese thing.

You are correct on both accounts but you fail to acknowledge that we have an almost hot war with the country in question. TikTok is more of a threat than an Indian version of TikTok specifically because of China.

I like the banning. I have a cute friend who lost shit on Tik Tok. I told her this is the last day I see you. Because Tik Tok is chi com spyware. Or soy ware. I’m perfectly ok with fewer bullshit apps. Thank you GEOTUS Trump if you ban it.

I would storm the beaches tomorrow. kinda getting a sense of how deep their hate was for Hitler. Something has to be done about the wagers, not right now tho America first but if sanctions can start the conversation im all for it.

If we don't take action against China they will grow in power and destroy America. We must crush China completely.

Yeah. Watched a documentary a couple months back where they discussed what various Asian countries were doing to combat coronavirus.

The tech was pretty cool, tbh.

But when they spoke to "people on the street" it was plain the Chinese only allowed party members to speak bc they talked shit about the West.

I’m think we should just airdrop opium and gambling equipment all over China, they’ll soon crumble under the weight of their own degeneracy.

I have a job where i come in contact with a lot of parents.

In light of that i would like a reliable source to inform parents about the dangers of tiktok. By reliable, i mean sources that average people will trust.

Anybody?

National security risk. End of story really. There's plenty of alts available without (as much - I have doubts about a LOT of Silicon Valley companies) Chinese interference.

What ever happened to freaking Vine?

best not to use by liberal silicon vlley either they are equally bad

quick read over vine's wikipedia entry reads that vine pretty much got crushed by other competing "platforms":

"[...] "Instagram video was the beginning of the end", said a former Vine executive during an interview with online tech news site The Verge.

Marketers leaving the platform was also a large part of the decision by Twitter to discontinue Vine. Many monetary sources began to move to longer short video platforms, and with them followed many popular Vine creators.[...]"

About god damn time. I've been telling my wife she should delete it for months. I forbid her from recording me on the app. "But it's just fun!!"

She respects my wishes and I can't tell her what apps to use on her cell phone. All I can do is stock up on lead and protect her physically at home.

Hopefully she doesn’t access anything important with that phone.

Apple should e ducking pulled it already because doing that violates its standards. Oh wait. Tim sucks Xi dick. I forgot.

It was rather telling because 7 years ago I teamed up with a dev and dipped my toe in mobile apps. Apple was fairly rigorous with their review process. For Tik Tok to 'slip through' something rather dirty is going on.

Apple needs to be audited next.

So Pede, while I appreciate that you created a thread about TikTok for people who are trying to learn more, can you try putting in more effort to your post? The way you just posted “thoughts anyone” has to be one of the laziest displays of intellectual discourse I have seen this week. It’s as though you have an empty room for a brain and are needing other people to come fill it with shit.
