Details of the Tiktok ban case...a lot of people don't understand that this went beyond what data most apps would collect, and presumably goes straight to the Chinese government. It's unquestionably a security concern.



If I'm reading this correctly, one of the things this means is: even if you don't have Tiktok and have never been on the app, if one of your email contacts does have Tiktok then the Chinese government has YOUR email address, and maybe your name, phone number, picture, etc.

Now imagine you're in the US government or military. You are a careful person and you don't have things like Tiktok. But an ex girlfriend from 10 years ago does, and she's still your email contact. Now the Chinese government has YOUR data, and you did absolutely nothing.

Right, I posted a long time ago now that some guy who breaks apart apps to see what they do said TikTok collects like 10x or 100x what other apps do. Like almost every keystroke. It's really insidious. A CCP data collection app.

And yes, watch the fucking video by all means. He GRABS his fucking heart and throws it out to the crowd.

You're literally retarded if you think that was a Nazi salute or was in any way intended to be.
