Chinese company storing user data in China is non-news unless I’m missing something.
I suppose them “previously suggesting it was all on servers within America” and now admitting that that was false begs the question what else have they lied about?
Wasn’t the thing about banning TikTok about where they store US user data (and who can access it)?
And afaik EU has similar rule for EU citizens? Someone who actually knows shit, please enlighten me.
The EU does have a law about it in GDPR (General Data Protection Regulations). The US doesn’t currently have any laws against it, but the US is going after China specifically.
The US has made executive orders against software on edge routers, but nothing enforceable about end user data. There was an agreement Oracle would host TikTok’s American data to appease the US
Shocking…
Glad I never signed up for it
I’m shocked, shocked, shocked! I tell you. Ok maybe not that shocked.
@L4s I thought everyone knew Tiktok was a Chinese data harvesting company
This reminds me of the last week tonight episode with edward snowden.
It was about privacy and the people interviewed didn’t care until the question was phrased if it were dickpics the government had access to.
The interview with snowden starts around 14:00
and the fragment about the dickpics around 25:00.
Shocking! A Chinese company lying, cheating and abusing users data. Impossible I say.
Oh wait. It’s wholly expected.Surprise Pikachu
Oh no my sensitive data is in a country that has no control over me. Better get that somewhere where it could actually bite me in the ass.
Oof, bad take city
Shocking.
This isn’t news, they even talked about this in the Senate hearing and proposed a plan to do it in the US.
Man it’s almost like the US needs sweeping data privacy laws with strict and threatening fiscal consequences that scale with a companies gross income for any violations.
no way
This is such a fucking stupid statement and I’ve seen it in every thread discussing this shit.
Just because its obvious doesn’t make finding more evidence of it not news. This sort of “well duh” attitude plays right into normalizing the idea that hostile foreign governments are spying on us so effectively that im convinced it was started by 50 cent army posters who convinced regular dipshits that it was some brilliant and hilarious response.
Its not funny. Its not clever. It basically derails any discussion because “so obvious, I already like, knew that.” Honestly shut the fuck up if you have nothing to contribute and take your low effort bullshit back to reddit.
You didn’t have your breakfast yet, did you?
No, I had my breakfast. In the form of a shitty meme tier sandwich supplied by unoriginal assholes while I’m trying to get additional insights into the articles I’m reading.
So your own government spying on you is okay? Lol
Ah yes, the “what about” argument. The pinnacle of logical discourse and absolutely not a fallacy used by trolls and idiots. Well done. You really got me now.
Didn’t the tiktok CEO say that’s not happening in a recent hearing? :Shocked Pikachu:
I think he said that they’re working on getting it all transferred to the US by the end of the year.
