us be like please please stop spying on our children so that WE can do that and also prevent the thoughtcrime of believing genocide (in Palestine) is bad

But you do realise there’s a difference between a business owning some data about its users in a well regulated democracy and the Chinese state having free access to a tonne of personal data about a vast amount of people in the West?

Also, I presume you are aware that China prohibits the export of data on Chinese citizens to western servers.

While it’s not exactly important who started it, China started it.

Why do people keep bringing up Palestine when talking about TikTok? Is this some CCP astroturfing?

[–] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Government did not care what happened on Tiktok during the KIA nonsense. Tiktok is now more controlled and cleaned up and became a new source for young people. Now the government wants to ban it. It is much better than before and the whole time it was Chines owned. So now, you have to argue against two points.

It was OK Asian people owned it before. Why not now?
The content is moderated now and adults no longer complain it's worse than Instagram, Twitter, or the racist cesspool of a comment section that is Youtube.

You can be critical of the CCP but also see the increased urgency in "fixing tiktok" after US/Israel propaganda to hide Palestine genocide got stymied by tiktok.
