If you're worried about your data ending up in the hands of someone who could use it against you, a social media app from a somewhat hostile foreign country is way safer than local social media that sells all it's data to the state that actually has power over you. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 31 points 2 years ago (4 children) Yeah I hear this argument from libs all the time: "it's a natsec nightmare how an enemy government has planted sensors all over the inside of people's homes" But why? Why does it matter at all that China can know what American people are doing in their homes, what they're interested in, etc? Is it for military reasons? Are you worried that Chinese robots are gonna land and have a floor plan of every tiktok user's house? Or are you worried because knowing a lot about American people means they can market their products better? Like seriously how does it affect natsec, I can only really imagine ways in which it affects commerce and industry but not natsec. And as far as commerce goes, who cares? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] Inui@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago Not to mention, do they think domestic entities won't do the same lmao?
