I've been satisfied with IRC, that was social enough for me as an autistic kid yes. I've not had the luxury of developing a high standard of social interaction for my daily life.

Yes, technically speaking as passed the ban could be enforced against any app controlled by a "Foreign Adversary" as deemed by the gov (so China, Russia etc.) and is determined to be of significant threat to national security.

I'm in full agreement that it's one of the worst offenders in privacy violations. I'm not going to defend the company. I don't think the app should be banned though, politicians took the easy way out because they don't understand social media enough to regulate it and saw an opportunity to keep playing the geopolitics game. We need to organize and fight for privacy rights.

Why not? Again, privacy is not the only issue here.

We need to organize and fight for privacy rights.

One doesn't exclude the other.

Potentially, but the ban was never about solving a problem it was about being seen doing something. The average old person voter who isn’t serially online has never heard of RedNote and probably won’t for many years, so the skeletons in congress don’t have to address it.

Possibly, if you're American. The rest of the world will continue to have access.

Election Interference so blatant that the EU started formal proceedings.

Multiple studies, including a very recent one by Rutgers and NCR, showing it's a pro CCP propaganda vehicle.

It lied about collecting precise user data.

It lied about whether that data was accessible to ByteDance and it lied about not using that data to track people.

The problem with TT isn't it's content, the "food pictures and people being nice to each other." you referenced, its with how TT uses its algorithm to misguide its users and the risk of them misusing the staggering amount of data their app collects.

Twitter ( X run by the twit) and Facebook do the very same but worse . I wonder why they were not banned?

[email protected]

Their marketing department is lagging as shown by them Chinese language ads on YouTube to US audiences.

It has a still frame of someone skiing or snowboarding, a QR code and the Chinese language description. Wut?

[email protected]

The US politicians have destabilized the whole country. The apps just gives a place to be vocal. The US uses our data against us we just ignore it because they say they don't.

[email protected]

Tell me again how US politicians made a candidate in the romanian election of 2024.

”Western societies“ is not only the US, you egocentric yankees.

[email protected]

Whoa calm down. You made me jump jump

[email protected]

Twitter and Facebook would count as destabilising Western society.

How comes that whenever one criticizes Tiktok there's always gonna be multiple comments screeching ”BuT fAcEbOoK aNd TwItTeR“ though nobody said they weren't also garbage? And funnily, if you criticize any of those two, someone comes screeching ”BuT tIkToK“

FOR FUCKS SAKE STAY ON TOPIC.

lol

yeah.

funniest shit I ever saw.

Because the ban isn't actually about the data harvesting. It's about money.

[email protected]

that is the point, they are moving from Chinese app to Chinese app because the alternatoves are equally bad.

Corporations are good at acquiring users because they invest money, and the greatest tradeoff is social control and manipulation.

You thought tiktokers would come to Lemmy?
