Didn’t TikTok comply with every request of the US government?
No. The requirements are listed in H.R. 816 Divisions H and Division I.
TikTok knows they didn’t comply with them because they made a show of shutting down. TikTok servers are centralized in Beijing.
When Meta sold data to Russia via Cambridge Analytica they recieved the largest FTC fine in history, and that was long before the law was even conceived.
If the platforms did it today then they should face the full consequences the same as TikTok.
Theres an LTT video where one of the boys intercept all Linus’ calls and texts, classic prank.
Y’all ever heard “Skunk Anansi - I believed in you”? Not that old but still a classic.
You happily traded 47,000 of Palestinian lives for 1700 israelis, congratz and fuck off.
*U.S. Citizen Ownership
Because yeah, Chinese Military ownership is problematic for an app used by US Citizens.
Same source as your previous link, too.
TikTok are not competition, they don’t even care about profit or they would have sold 80% of ownership and would continue operating legally.
They’re a weapon
How does that argue anything I just said?
You know China vetoed a Gaza Ceasefire last march, right?
They’re also allied with Iran who militarized Hamas in the first place.
Good, finally putting that money to good use.
Probably difficult to enforce if RedNote doesn’t have American servers or offices, we will see if anything happens.
Facilitated by, maybe. Contributed to, sure. The primary end goal of, no.
ByteDance wasn’t operated for profit like the others, it was operated to do harm. The fact that they would rather shut down than sell 80% of ownership for a hefty profit is proof of that.
If that were true then they wouldn’t have given ByteDance the option to sell 80% to citizens and continue operating.
The law also bans every company from doing the same thing, sending personal data to any of the listed adversarial nations or being more than 20% owned by them. Why ban every company if they only cared about the Palestine message?
If you don’t recognize data privacy as data privacy thats just a skill issue.
“Pig Butchering” and political radicalization towards violence, as well as the largest YoY increase in hacks, specifically from china, which have had large measurable impacts on US Industry.
And thats just ongoing problems, they’ve probably gotten enough peoples social security, bank acc no., fingerprint, facial ID, etc to do so much more if they decide to cash in on their schemes early.
Also, if they suddenly decide the USA is weak enough, such as after losing a third of annual defence spending capability via withdrawal from NATO, the Chinese now have intimate knowledge of our defences.
You are already paying the price and it could only get worse.
Right so the arbitrary line of not data privacy and is data privacy lay just before GDPR.
So nothing short of a complete ban of all social media and advertising is Data Privacy to you, then?
It was always owned by Chinese Military.
