None of that information even remotely threatens national security outside of the military.
If the military is doing things that civilians commonly do then maybe, you know, they should stop that.
- threeseed 6y agoMight want to read up on what happened with Strava: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-42853072 https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-42853072 And the military has already acknowledged that they have a problem with the rampant use of private devices. So any app that harvests a lot of real-time location data can be a problem. Also if I was the Chinese government I absolutely would be analysing audio/video and capturing contacts for any phones at known military GPS locations.
- wayneftw 6y agoFirst of all, you didn’t mention anything about the military in your first post. So maybe you should read up on how to make a point comprehensively before telling somebody else to read up on something. The information that you mentioned, by itself, does not affect national security. And obviously, any sort of information that one can gather on the military is helpful to the enemy. That’s why they don’t do all sorts of things that civilians commonly do. Anyway, maybe ban the military from installing apps or using civilian phones if it’s a problem?? That article you linked to was not even about TikTock it was about some other app. So removing TikTock is not going to fix the problem.
