@aral "national security risk"?? 🤔 Oh what a bullshit... Just another try to sink another site so centralized medias can survive and control everything.... Or maybe chance for #goldfish by @stux to replace #TikTok 😆 Why not

@aral Come to #Freenet, right now, break the ring! https://www.freenetproject.orgWe also have video, but no way to track what you watch. And 3 minute videos are just right.

@abid @stux @aral Abid is completely right. Companies must comply with whatever the local laws are.

@stux @abid @aral I got the point, trust me. I was taking a jab at the security theatre folk. There are people out there who use software and expect that companies won't turn on their users. They turn on them for profit, let alone when the law compels them to. This is doubly true in places like China where business is directly owned/controlled by the state.Whether china or free world, there is no privacy or secrecy. It's an illusion.

@jaryl @stux @abid You’re missing the point. The problem isn’t the Chinese owner. The problem is the surveillance and the data gathered and that other people have it and will use it against you. For TikTok, it’s the people who run TikTok and the Chinese government (and yes, the Chinese government is about as problematic as it gets but that’s not the point here because so is every government to one degree or other). For Facebook it’s Zuck & co. and the US government, etc., etc., etc.

I was briefly involved in plans to make a TikTok experience for the Fediverse and there was a ton of money behind it so it wouldn't have been a problem to build, but the biggest hurdle was actually the music. TikTok and Instagram have awesome features that people love using licensed music and if you tried to replicate it on the Fediverse you're just asking for trouble.The rest of the features aren't so hard. Lots of brilliant app devs out there and video toolkits for making filters etc and of course the bandwidth/storage requirements grow considerably for a video-focused experience, but it's still possible to build.You just don't want to get involved in the copyrighted media shenanigans. It's a giant target on your back.So unless you can convince people that these types of features are not fun, you will never pry corporatized social media out of the hands of the masses
