It gathers up a horrific amount of personal data, and I don't think you get to be a giant corporation based in Beijing by saying no to the government when it asks for copies of that info.

So you're saying it's a social media app?

Not new news, but tbh if you have tiktiok, just get rid of it


OP is gone but the first comment is what's interesting, and that's still there. I think this bit summarizes it nicely:

quote:

For what it's worth I've reversed the Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter apps. They don't collect anywhere near the same amount of data that TikTok does, and they sure as hell aren't outright trying to hide exactly whats being sent like TikTok is. It's like comparing a cup of water to the ocean - they just don't compare.

tl;dr; I'm a nerd who figures out how apps work for a job. Calling it an advertising platform is an understatement. TikTok is essentially malware that is targeting children. Don't use TikTok. Don't let your friends and family use it.

I haven't looked into the details of this but it sounds like Tiktok is designed so that it's hard to see exactly what it's doing. The certification is looking for more obvious malfeasance and is going to miss anything more subtle.

Apparently there's a new Pizzagate style conspiracy about Wayfair selling children through their website? Apparently these cabinets have the names of missing children



And because we live in hellworld it's a matter of time before someone shoots up a Wayfair.

The first two I can't find anything credible of any children by those names missing. There was a missing Samiah on July 2nd but the article was updated to say she'd been found safe (14 year old, mentions mental illness). Alyvia is the middle name of a girl who went missing in 2018 at age 15 and there's no updates so that loving sucks.

That's just a truism, the reality is that expansive children are status symbol meant to be shown off at rape parties and conferences/conventions to establish your place in the social pecking order. That's why it's so scandalous when someone outside of the socioeconomic club starts raping the top-shelf kids.

Hilariously, Roosh is the progenitor of a lot of PUA garbage. When hbomberguy did a video on them, he noted that weirdly, Roosh actually seemed kind of repulsed at the idea of having sex with women, or just sex in general.

What I'm saying is that Roosh is a psychologist's PhD thesis waiting to happen.
