I read on epoch that TikTok isn't fully banned until november 12th. Tencent gets hit this sunday, including communications, like ISPs

I thought for we chat thrill just have to use infrastructure outside the country and can't be in us app stores. So it's not a complete ban, right?

Messed around with this app for about a week. Every other video was some pro trump/anti BLM shit. Some videos were pretty funny but overall it’s just a waste of time. I haven’t been following this type of news. What’s the US issue with it?

China uses it to spy on users by gathering information like location, faces, profiles, etc, which can be used in turn to access their information on other platforms. The Chinese government has a cyber security law that can force chinese companies to hand over information at any time. They must comply. This is a huge security concern on the international market. Also china has banned a multitude of apps/sites within their country. They cry foul while being asshats

You got to be a dumb ass to cry over this ban, because you can’t even go on FB in China, not sure why I seen such out cry when we do it. I know people hate trump but damn this is a legit security issue.

WeChat is the bigger thing for me...it sucks but my wife uses it to communicate with friends and family back home in China even though she renounced Chinese citizenship and got naturalized.

I had to set up my gf with a vpn. We're stuck apart until the US opens.

Ever since I watched that movie on Netflix called the Social Dilemma my opinion on social media and all these side platforms is even more negative than before. We become dumber as a species the more our population indulges in these dumb ass apps clogging the internet up with useless videos nobody gives a shit about after 10 seconds.
