Pretty sure they're getting the internet hug of death atm.
Lol. Very true. And on a weekend! Lol. With great pow...app comes a bunch of users.
YOUR data doesn't matter. Information gained from mass analysis of data that is tied to govt workers and military personnel is a security concern and it is treated as such. Nobody cares about your particular data, on either side (well, maybe ad companies, but if you are a tiktoker, you are already fully compromised there).
On the up side for tiktok kids. The CCP will likely order trump to unblock it.
If our data didn't matter, they wouldn't be harvesting it, never mind making obscene amounts of money with it. If our data didn't matter, there would not be a multibillion dollar industry based entirely upon it.
YOUR data DOES matter, if it didn't, why would they go to such lengths to gather it in the first place?
Yeah ... I said that. Your data can be used and sold, it just doesn't have anything to do with a tiktok ban. They already have your ad data, especially if you are a tiktoker/social media user. The van stems from security concerns, it has nothing to do with the average user, no one cares about them.
"TikTok is influencing you politically"
So you'll shut down Fox News, right?
Facebook too. Don't forget Cambridge Analytica
What part of "China is a geopolitical adversary so maybe it's fucking different" is so hard for paint chip eaters to understand?
Them being adversarial doesn't really matter. The allies of today are the enemies of tomorrow and the converse, so the who shouldn't matter. The problem is with anyone collecting data on your citizens because it can be sold, traded, stolen, or abused.
If it was about protecting people, a wide-spread countermeasure would be used instead of a pinpointed assault targeting a single app.
