The Chinese are spying through TikTok? Well, I just watched Twitter and Facebook deliver a convicted felon, rapist, half-illiterate racist as president, who incited an insurrection and is compromised by Russia. So forgive me if I'm not worried about TikTok. You can't go lower than rock bottom. - ThreadSky

Pre-fuckin-cisely

That’s the thing. There were 2 arguments against TikTok. First what could happen with China and the other what TikTok does now. And what TikTok does now, all major social media do making it an industry wide problem. And that’s what necessary, industry regulation

My algorithm on TT connects me with all kinds of intelligent good troublemakers. I’ll miss that.

👍 It certainly is ironic to see USA screaming about foreign tech giants tapping phones, stealing data and potentially profiling people, isn’t it?
🤔 Almost like it’s only OK if the US corpocracy does it, and no one else is allowed to! 🧐

They don't have to spy just call the head Cheeto, he'll tell them everything for another trademark

Spot on!

Good point

Still, the Chinese and the Russians share a common trait: they are the enemy, as much as Trump himself

swannee.bsky.social•148 days ago

Dissolve all three of them. Facebook is now openly allowing bots and disinformation at will. https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/07/tech/meta-censorship-moderation/index.html

They keep saying, “Look over there,” but the real problem lies within.

samyoscar.bsky.social•148 days ago

you are so right the same thoughts as me the future mafia administration of the white house is really scary

monti65.bsky.social•148 days ago

Yeah because they’re being run by Russian assets. They don’t count. Only the ones the Chinese are running. It’s pure stupidity.

dro0g.bsky.social•148 days ago

I agree with you 100%, to the point that we shouldn’t care about the Chinese spying on us. We should care about ALL of it, because it all has an impact on our day to day lives whether you feel it now or not.

It's like worrying about the mashed potatoes being luke-warm when the turkey caught fire in the oven. Screw the potatoes. Let's go out to eat.

dro0g.bsky.social•148 days ago

Who doesn’t love a mashed potato analogy. You’re still going to have to clean up the mess before or after getting take out. Mess won’t clean itself up.

Tiktok does gives Chinese intelligence services a chance to spy on people around the world...and that's our job!

This is the only place I check out.

TikTok can actually be kinda fun.

autumnsun9.bsky.social•148 days ago

Oh it has a lot of fun aspects. But then I saw how it is being abused by many, without deterrents. And specifically, nurses, my own colleagues, making fun of and videos complaining about patients who cannot help being infirm, disabled or have a change in cognition. I was revolted in every way.

unapologeticus.bsky.social•148 days ago

Ah. I usually just watch it for old ladies and little kids dropping F bombs in public spaces.
