It’s not without reason so many government agencies are banning TikTok usage from their employeesNot sure how many times people have to tell you but uh…TikTok is one of the WORST privacy stealing, child ruining and addictive platforms out thereYou have been warned, many many times over :ablobwink:Not enough? Do it your way and enjoy the warm bed of Xi Jinping

@stux fr! It and all its clones are addictive as hell. I'd pay for YouTube Premium Plus if it removed the Shorts for me.

I'm sure you've read enough about this evil company by now soIf you're still on the platform or decide to give it a wirl it's a conscious choice and you ignore all warnings so..At some point I think you should stop crying if your data is used against you after SO many warningsEveryone can keeps telling you not to jump off that bridge but it's your choice but also your responsibility

@stux Outside of western hemisphere, I've been seeing straight up antisemitic content being pushed to me (e.g. media companies and jewish people). And they kept telling me there's no violation even when I repeatedly reported it.It might not be intentional, but TikTok trying to please shitty govts, instead of having an actual moral compass on what's supposed to be right, means that it will default on boosting anti-minorities contents.

@stux Gen Z see it as old money silencing them because they can't control it. They laugh at the child safety factor when most children thumb their nose at COPPA or it's supposed protections and make social media accounts well below Age 13.

@stux Don't forget about 'our' western companies like Meta, Google, Amazon & Microsoft.

@stux In my opinion this starts with their parents being on all these “social” platforms. If needed, my child will get a Nokia 3310, just to call me and no other bullshit. It’s not that difficult.

@stux Only a dozen states have banned it for their gov't employees. Federal US is now all, at least."The White House, the Pentagon, the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department already prohibit staff from having TikTok on government-issued devices, so this ban just extends the rule for all U.S. government employees. More than a dozen states have passed similar TikTok bans for devices issued by state governments."

@stux How is Meta & Twitter’s social media sites any better? They all use exploitative algorithms-for-profit, all steal your data, are built to be addictive, and promote the worse in human behavior (from influencer culture to supporting fascism).The only difference is here it’s mega corporations reaping, not the government. But is that any better really when our corps are as big or bigger than most governments?

@stux Google with Android, MS with Windows, Apple with iPhone are doing the same. Every IT company is stealing data from us and spy on us.
