UPDATE 1/18: TikTok OFFICIALLY SHUTS DOWN IN the United States, sends message saying DONALD TRUMP WILL SAVE US to 170 MILLION AMERICANS

[RickyDiBiase]

Explain my man

It's easier for a superpower to win people over in another superpower with pleasantries as opposed to brute force

of course this is because China is essentially a fukking powderpuff relying on a lot of smoke and mirrors and racial romanticization of their capabilities

and not the country that resorting to build a wall to keep the Mongols out

or the one that got nearly colonized by those techno Uncle Toms (Japan)

or the same country that pushed Communism into North Vietnam, only for them to get pushed right out by the same people they influenced.

or the one whose soldiers can't hack it in South Sudan

So if you can't conquest with the sword, you use butter.

My visually impaired sister liked listening to people tell stories on tik tok

I wanna name names!

Google
Facebook
Apple
IG
Youtube
Twitter/X

All of em participate in the same shyt tiktok do.

How y'all know all the data they collect isn't going to the US gov't like tiktok is to the CCP?

How y'all know they apps don't work the same way tiktok app do?

Well it SHOULDN'T be going to the government unless they have legitimate cause because the united states government is required to operate under the stored data communications at of 1986.
It requires the government to have:
1. A court order under 18 U.S.C. § 2703(d) or a subpoena.
2. The government must show specific and articulable facts demonstrating the information is relevant to an ongoing investigation.
3. A search warrant based on probable cause, as per the Fourth Amendment

This is what the government used to nab a bunch of the rioters during the January 2021 capitol riots. The subpoenaed data from Facebook to find out who was involved.
In China there is no such thing. The government can just request it for no reason at all and the companies must comply.

I work in IT, and it's insane how many "Cybersecurity professionals" in this field are crying over Chinese spyware being banned. TikTok literally farms your data on your device and sends it straight to the CCP.

This isn't the same as Facebook, Google, or Apple taking your data and selling it for advertisement purposes. China will force user data to be handed to them from companies without a subpoena. But fukk it; I guess the TikTok shop is more important than foreign adversaries farming data and using it to influence our population.

Facebook literally sold our data to Russia


No one gives a fukk about their data.

and an app going away is not that important, but Americans aren't serious people.

why is it difficult to understand that an app going away because of market forces and an app going away because the government shut it down is two different things entirely?

 

[TDT]

Obvious theatrics and Chumps ego behind all of this. The CEO of TikTok is going to Chumps inauguration as a guest of honor.

TikTok C.E.O. Plans to Attend Trump Inauguration

Shou Chew will join tech moguls like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk at President-elect Donald J. Trump’s inauguration as the fate of the app hangs in the balance.

That CEO probably will be leaving early when Trump tells him "Sorry..there was nothing i could do.."

 

[Gloxina]

Gotdamn I thought we would still have access if it was downloaded before the deadline? Haven’t opened the app in like a month, but I don’t like them just shutting the shyt down Smdh

 

[cyndaquil]

These threads always get fukking weird and bring out this stockholm syndrome energy.

I wanna shake y'all awake man

Kamala Harris was running campaigns and paying influencers to influence just TWO AND A HALF fukkING MONTHS
AGO ON THIS APP.


Last minute the Dems tried to fight to keep it unbanned.

Like you can't actually believe it's a bigger threat to our national security than fukking Youtube/Facebook/Reddit/4Jackie and all
of those other platforms that have contributed to the rise of the alt. right and literally incubated fukking mass shooters.

I gotta question your ability to think for yourself if this is what you choose to believe.

I saw an interesting video on how that alt right recruitment works. And that's one thing I'm not sure how to stop from happening on social media. Since there's no "proof" that they are recruiting. Users just "stumble upon" their stuff in typical spaces that house vulnerable young white males like star wars videos, call of duty clips, anime fandoms etc.



I'm not sure how accurate everything in this video is but was alt right recruitment not an issue on tiktok?

I would make the argument that since we don't know where the third party ad/data collecting is being housed it can be used the same way by the US gov't.
Just go through the 'justice' system process to make sure the evidence is admissible.

he still probably thinks theres a way out without selling

 

[Kaypain]

For the in favor of this ban I hope the government decides the coli is a threat to national security and shuts it down.
