Want to fight TikTok addiction or privacy issues with CCP? Sure, do it. But find other ways: banning users from using it, whereas especially everybody else can access it, is a huge punch on the rights of your own people.
- mattrighetti 3y agoExactly. The only solution would be to inform users that their data is funnelled to CCP servers in very obscure ways, that’s the only right thing that you could do. Enable people to make informed decisions. Want your data stolen? Then go ahead.
- Moldoteck 3y agoyeah they could mandate tiktok to inform users after each video that data is sent to ccp
- zabana 3y agoThe thing is, most people outside the "larger ethnic group" in the US couldn't care less about their data being funneled to the CCP. The anti china/russia/<insert anything that's over GMT+3> seems to really be a WASP centric pathological obsession. Just my 2c
- teawrecks 3y agoThat's why the issue needs to be solved by legislation that regulates data collection. Targeting a specific app just because of WHO the data is going to is at best a military operation, or at worst xenophobic. Doesn't matter to me who is trying to collect my data, I want a say.
