I’m kind of surprised by the response in the comments. Generally I think Lemmy is anti Tik Tok and I don’t understand why. You don’t have to like the shit but why do people have to be so negative about what other people do with their free time?
I think people here are just trying to be edgy and hate tik tok because it’s popular.
Tiktok is Chinese spyware, that's been caught again and again to send user data to servers in China. How can anyone in their right mind not be outspoken and negative about this shit?
Users leaving tiktok in favor of xhs are totally insane.
What is China going to do?
Hell with China's track record, it's better that China has it than the US government if you're in the US.
China treats data as bad as the US, I want neither of them to have access.
That's, fine, it's your choice to not use services.
That has nothing to do with anyone else. Simply don't use the internet.
man, keep these hits coming!
I'm building a database of y'all that keep trying to say "both sides are bad" just to track what your other opinions are over time.
don't worry, I'll keep the data on a server outside the US so you'll feel safer.
This is so funny because it’s suppose to sound scary but no one actually gives a fuck.
you think I said it to be scary?
no. I didn't say it to be scary. I said it because it's the only way to identify platform manipulation.
like users that flip from one extreme to the other from comment to comment...
one second they say nobody cares about privacy and the next time they bemoan how the oligarchy owns us and we can't stop it(a clear cry for help if I ever heard one).
I want to track users like that so we can have a clearer understanding of who is abusing the platform.
