It's just absolutely astounding that apparently people were RATM fans and didn't realize their music was political.

Yeah, they're not really good at telling the difference.

Which really calls into question why they like it.

They don't like it. They just think liberals are hypocrites for enjoying a movie that has racial slurs in it.

Does the US not have, like, license points or whatever?

A lot of counties rely on speeding tickets for revenue, so they don't come with points unless you do something egregious.

The people running Trump's branding are very good about maintaining plausible deniability for any specific thing that could be Nazi-related, but overall, it's pretty clear that these aren't coincidences.

I'll try and find the thing about it but it was reverse engineered by a privacy buff and he was shocked at how much worse on every level it was than Facebook, Google and Twitter.

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.
