tiktok

I automatically have zero respect for anyone using that chinese spyware trash.

[-] MindSkipperBro12@lemmy.world 90 points 2 years ago

Agreed, I prefer American made spyware

[-] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Chinese and Korean made phones, running American software, which was outsourced to India.

What do I get if I catch em all?

Why specify Chinese? Any private social media mobile app is spyware

Made in china, under complete control of ccp as every big company in china is. It is very unfortunate that younger generation is essentially being raised by tiktok and its algorithm.

Facebook is bad, no doubts about that, it's also unavoidable as the only social media for most people, and it's also not fun for most people. Tiktok on the other hand is interesting, it's captivating, the algorithm tailors it to you, microdoses you with dopamine. I'm sure that same algorithm can be, if desired, used to push pro-china/pro-russia/anti-west narratives to varying degrees of subtlety, tailor-made to each user, to further destabilize certain countries, united states included.

Social media is dangerous, social media controlled by a potential enemy is dangerous on a whole another level.

Oh no, telling people that the US isn’t the greatest country in the world, the horror!

[-] gingersneak@lemmy.world -4 points 2 years ago

Big difference between "The US isn't actually the greatest country in the world" (whatever the fuck "greatest" means, they're never too clear about that) and "Uighyurs are dangerous dissident terrorists who need to be re-educated. Any organ donations are purely voluntary."

But then again, I am talking to a CCP shill from lemmygrad. Pretty much pissing into an ocean of piss here.

Do you have a source to back your claims up?

Make no mistake, there have been some allegations in the UN report, that if true, I would want China to do better. But I don’t remember reading about organ harvesting in there.

Who do you trust to make reputable claims that aren’t motivated by political reasons on this?

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago

This right here is the answer.

Yes, we know that our government has done shitty, crazy things to try to control people and they probably aren’t above that today.

They do not have it in their best interest to weaken their own country though. A potentially hostile foreign government does.

I mean, everyone uses it so I hope not. We’ll see I guess.
