I don’t think TikTok is “an extension of the CCP” but surely China is using the (huge) data generated by it to its benefits, by analyzing them. And since China is not a democracy, in the future this could go against ourselves. So just don’t use it or use it with caution, the preferences, privacy, data, etc… of the young people now will be available forever on some Chinese datacenters. I’m not relaxated of this.
- ironyman 4y agoI agree with the assessment[1] that even if it isn't illegally collecting data it should be banned because it gives China a crucial edge in the development of AI tools that American companies don't have. China is able to freely access Western markets but not the other way around.

- frumper 4y agoHow does one ban something that isn’t illegal? I’m all for making mass data collection and sharing/selling illegal, but that isn’t what is being talked about.
