Did you hear that the US is planning on banning the TikTok app?😮

Yup. Every single thing you post there, including everything your teens and little ones post, go directly to the Chinese Communist government.

No one cares, mostly...unless a teen is on there confessing that he wants to blow up China, or do something equally nasty, and then grows up to be in charge of our Nukes. Blackmail material. National security issue for the USA, potentially.

The Chinese have expanded their own national security laws so that they can arrest anyone, of any race or nationality, in Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Philippines, etc. etc.

I hope so because it's fucking stupid.

Yeah and it’s probably because TikTokers have been picking on Trump. Poor Trump is being bullied by Gen Z’s.
It’s totally not fair to Trump. 😭😭😭

It's tricky. This is a pretty thoughtful, well-researched article that lays it out. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/09/tech/tiktok-security-threat/index.html

But the reality is when you use your phone, without the proper protections, you're sharing all kinds of stuff that most aren't aware of. The question here is if the data, and platform, can be weaponized. The other side of the coin? Trump and his boot lickers are just looking to set up China as a scapegoat.
