spartan max2 Posted June 29, 2020 #1 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) This is a direct progression from the escalating border violence in my other thread. Personally I have no problem with this. It's basically CCP malware. Quote TikTok has been banned in India, along with 58 other mostly Chinese apps, as tensions between the two countries continue. TikTok, which is developed by Chinese company Bytedance, allows users to share short videos which are generally set to music. It has regularly denied allegations about its relationship with the Chinese government, publishing a blog post late last year in which it said its data centres are kept outside of China and that it is not subject to Chinese data law. https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/tiktok-ban-india-china-wechat-uc-browser-a9591941.html Edited June 29, 2020 by spartan max2 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen of Annoy Posted July 7, 2020 #10 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Someone's feelings were hurt https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/07/07/tiktok-ban-china-usa-pompeo/ Quote Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said late Monday that the United States is considering banning Chinese social media apps, including TikTok, one of the world’s most popular online platforms. And in case you were wondering why spying wasn't a problem until now, Quote It also follows an underwhelming crowd at Trump’s rally in Tulsa that some blamed on a disruptive campaign led by TikTok users. Of course, the prank with reserving tickets didn't cause Trump's neoConfederate rally crowd to be any smaller than it was by itself, it only pumped up his expectations Still, it's eating him alive so has to retaliate. By taking the freedom of app choice away from 30 million US users. Now, that's totalitarian. Out of personal vanity reasons to make it more pathetic. Is China spying? Certainly. But having access to cats, tits and butts and unfortunate falls videos is not spying. Let's hope there are no morons who actually do communicate the sensitive stuff using social networks. (Though there is one government in the world recently, expected to be so competent.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Old Man Posted July 8, 2020 #13 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Highly possible it could act like Spy-ware. CCP did this before in ROK, too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Wearer of Hats Posted July 11, 2020 #14 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Good Lord I hate Tik-Tok but banning it to spite the Chinese government? That’s crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
