I guess what concerns me is that in some schools, students are required to live in dorms. So to me, it feels like an encroachment on what I would consider the students' personal, private home, where I suppose they should be allowed to access whatever content they like (minus, of course, the content I deem objectionable, like child exploitation, but thats much easier for us all to agree on I think).
- washadjeffmad 4y agoOnly the apps for TikTok, WeChat, and Telegram are being blocked and removed, not the websites, and only from state property. There's a privacy and security (read: espionage) concern with the apps right now.
- endianswap 4y agoAccording to TFA they're blocked from being accessed from school wi-fi, not only from state property.
- washadjeffmad 4y agoNot accurate in Georgia. I can VPN into two institutions and access those domains, and so far one of the Networking teams says they've been given no order to block by DNS or IP. They also have no separate VLAN for student wifi.
- ffssffss 4y agoThe two schools are University of Oklahoma and Auburn University.
- washadjeffmad 4y agoThe article explicitly mentions the University System of Georgia.
- someNameIG 4y agoWhat security/espionage concerns does Telegram have?
- washadjeffmad 4y agoMy assumption is because it was developed by a Russian, and someone in the US government is worried that the communications or e2ee could be compromised by another nation. https://www.wired.co.uk/article/telegram-encryption-end-to-end-features https://www.wired.co.uk/article/telegram-encryption-end-to-e...
- sahkopoyta 4y ago> e2ee could be compromised by another nation Which is not even enabled on regular conversations.. only on specifically created secret chats
- washadjeffmad 4y agoIt also looks like not long ago apps were able to collect and transmit the contents of clipboards on iOS and Android.
- dinkumthinkum 4y agoYou don’t want exploitation but you want them to have access to TikTok? I think you should find out about what is on the platform and I think you will be surprised.
- nickthegreek 4y agoThe platform contains the same content as every other social media platform but with less nudity.
- dinkumthinkum 4y agoNo, that’s definitely wrong. You haven’t researched this but you are making an assumption. Does FB have a rampant system by which children are being watched and paid for, it even being common that children use filters to appear as different fevered to collect more money?
- nickthegreek 4y agoAre you stating there are nude children on tiktok? I am stating that TikTok has less nudity than other platforms. Maybe you are arguing that tiktok has more sexual charged content? I’d be pretty comfortable arguing that Instagram and Twitter are above tiktok in that as well.
- dinkumthinkum 4y agoSo, I’m saying children do live strip teases for money and are pain through the platform in real time.
- nickthegreek 4y agoIncorrect. You must be 18 or older to get tips from TikTok live or enroll in the creators fund.
