adjl 07/08/20 11:35:04 AM #42:	Unbridled9 posted... There's nothing wrong in the slightest with a government banning something being utilized to gather data on it's citizens without their consent or knowledge. That's... pretty basic sense. Not even common, like... basic. That's most apps, though, to say nothing of the phone operating systems themselves. Pretty much every online-connected product or service you use today gathers some amount of data on you, to be sold to whoever will buy it. TikTok is particularly egregious about it, both in terms of the amount/nature of the data gathered and how insidious and aggressive it is (the app will actually alter its code to conceal how much data it's gathering if it detects that somebody is looking too closely at it), but I very highly doubt that's why the US government is taking umbrage to it. The US government is upset because they want more access to and control of said data than China is willing to give them. I can almost guarantee that if a US company made an identical app, nobody would be complaining (outside of the data security folks that currently complain about all social media because they understand the implications).

And here I thought you were pro-capitalism. It's not very capitalist to suggest that somebody you don't like shouldn't even be allowed to produce a product that people want. Why censor when you could compete instead? Create and promote a better app, and it doesn't matter what China's "allowed" to do because nobody will care about TikTok anymore. --- This is my signature.

This thing happened a little over a decade ago where google stopped caring about anything except money. Long gone is the company that took issue with China telling them to agree to censor things. Now they accept all that money with open arms. --- Mwahahahaha. <cite>ForteEXE3850 posted [p:941838719] in Trump may ...

Blightzkrieg 07/08/20 12:47:19 PM #46:	It should at least be banned for government employees to use (if it isnt already). I'm not sure how I feel about it being banned nationwide. It wouldn't be a huge loss (another app would pop up in its place) but you can bet China will rail on it as an example of American hypocrisy. --- https://imgtc.com/i/sIhpHts.jpg <cite>Blightzkrieg posted [p:941840863] in Trump may ...
