@earl-of-trumps saidYou been talking to METAL BRAIN?
do you mind tik tok turning over the locations(s) and key strokes of a government employee to the CCP,,,
or the employee of a classified experiment lab...?
i was once surveilled
but i got smart and quit facebook
every website in existence, including the one where yer reading these words, keeps track of you and knows more about you than ole santy claus does
even when i ask duckduckgo for the closest corvette stingray for sale they know my zip code as soon as i tap "send"
they watch you in the loo
they know exactly what you doo
use a vpn and yer still screwed
tiktok is no different
what's got folks inna tizzy is the fact that tiktok will sell this info to the chinese government
the cia and the nsa and several more agencies without names know all the same stuff
except they think i'm a rookie
what?
a knock @ the door?
and the dogs didn't bark?
i wonder who that could be?
governmental performance theater is on full display
the elite electeds need to earn their paychecks
@fmf saidChina is not trying to undermine the Indonesian democratic elections, because a. there isn't such a thing and b. Indonesia is in China's pocket anyway.

You're wrong. You're very, very wrong. TikTok is what Facebook would be had the EU not slapped it in the face a few times, except owned by the Chinese Communist Party.
Yes, TikTok is very much worse than the rest.
@shallow-blue saidPeople are free to do that if they want to, surely? You want see them prevented from doing so in some way?
They voted for Trump. They're probably going to vote for DeSantis.
@shallow-blue saidFrom what I’ve read on reviews by technical experts it isn’t, although I acknowledge that what I’ve read is very limited, albeit from reliable news platforms.
