People rightfully call out TikTok as a spyware because of their ties with CCP, but how exactly are other social media giants and big tech any different as they too have ties with the CIA, FBI etc
Basically, most social media reads out everything that is openly accessible, like cookies, address books and contacts, etc.
TikTok goes deeper, it has been watched going into protected files, trying to break encryptions (sometimes being successful).
how is it speculative that big tech steals your data. Google, Amazon, microsoft, every single big internet conglomerate sell your data. Its a fact, and is widely reported.
Don’t we have a different tiktok than the Chinese one? There are specifically US folks in charge of the non China Tiktok. Wasn’t one of the security heads a former US state security agent?
Why do you think it’s more spyware than any other big tech mobile app or social media?
And based on my experience getting hooked so fast into while I didn’t want to touch it, it seems it has the best algorithm. I’m off it now, like all other social media expect for fediverse, but I can testify on this
Idk, I find it’s algorithm very easy to control compared to every other social media, its much easy to manipulate. My fyp is full of gay people so idk what you mean by the second statement.
Yeah TikTok is bad but it also works as expected.
Yeah it’s the worst algorithm ever, basically spyware, bans LGBT+ people, etc. But that’s quite frankly how it always worked.

You need to source things instead of just spewing bullshit you hear on the grapevine.
Damn, didn’t know about this, but, what if Big Tech has also been doing this, but with more perfection, without getting caught?
TikTok is big tech.
But your question is highly speculative and kind of comes across as bad faith.

Source? because I follow a ton of LGBTQIA+ people without any issue.
just because they haven’t rolled out the jackboots doesnt mean they haven’t deployed some.
