Gosh, I wonder why the CCP would want that leading up to an election to determine who will be in the White House through the end of the Davidson window.

Lol gotta love all those down votes you get for telling the truth.

It's like some people never heard of Snowden.

I think it’s more of people down voting because it is making light of the situation by trying to say their local government has already done it. Both are bad. People hate comparisons on here but it’s like saying someone murdered someone and then saying “well the police do it all the time.” They still commited murder, and that response comes as if it is a defense of their actions

I definitely understand that but it is quite an important nuance of the topic to discuss especially considering the USA is threatening to ban Tik Tok for this reason and yet, allows all of its American companies to do the same.

I get whataboutism and all that but when it is directly being affected by the rest of the conversation I feel like its important that the information does get talked about.

The U.S. never threatened to ban Tik Tok if you are talking about important nuance, they are banning foreign ownership, and it isn’t just for Tik Tok. This goes back to the original discussion that other countries doing something shouldn’t dictate whether local government doing something is right. It isn’t, well China banned foreign social media apps, it should be viewed as a stand alone issue on how it can/will effect our society moving forward regardless.

This should have been assumed the moment the service went live.

Almost no one understands the incredible danger of social media fingerprinting but we are going to find out pretty soon, considering how fast these tools are being developed.

If repugnicans win this election I GUARANTEE social media data will be scraped to target individual citizen ‘troublemakers’. Guaran-fucking-tee.
