Wouldn’t actual data privacy laws stop this all the same? I can’t help but feel this weird song and dance avoiding the privacy argument exists so US companies don’t get in the crossfire for doing the same shit with your data.
No way in hell they’d ever argue data privacy.
That’s only for apple to pretend to care about while selling your data to brokers.
Sorry Apple is selling user data to data brokers now?
Yeah. They do have their own data collection practices and privacy policies. IIRC, meta was crying over Apple implementing permission data for apps since it would allow people to back off from meta but Apple would be sole winner from that move.
Yeah I was curious about Apple selling data to brokers, which I think would be new news. For Meta yeah that was the ios14 update, which really messed with their bottom line apparently lol
I think I was mistaken on that point. They’re not publicly doing that - just selling ads.
Yes, but congress just authorized a bunch of new surveillance
America already controls the TikTok servers. It all needs to be hosted on Oracle, and Oracle can see the source code.
The ban makes no sense seeing the previous requirements.
Oracle can see the source code
What? Surely that’s not true
Where did you get the idea that Oracle can see their source code? That only applies if they host their source repository on Oracle, if they host the servers there chances are it’s binaries that are hosted on the server not the source code.
May 2023 - TikTok Will ‘Soon’ Grant Oracle Full Access to Code, Algorithm
(Bloomberg) – TikTok will “soon” grant Oracle Corp. full access to its source code, algorithm and content-moderation material as part of efforts to alleviate national security concerns about the app.
Oracle will also begin monitoring the controlled gateways where data comes in and out of the secure environment it set up on servers to host data from TikTok’s US users, according to a statement from the social media company Monday.
Affective legislation rather knee jerk reactionary politics? Not in America, buddy.
Remember the golden rule of American thought:
CHINA BAD.
Both can be true, poor US legislation that protects their buddies (investors), and China’s bad
This is about military bases, bud.
Then why is it not limited to military personnel?
Wasn’t Facebook proven to give misleading information that led old people to vote for Trump that was ultimately from Russia propaganda sources? Where’s the Meta ban?
Once again, the app isnt going to be banned unless the CCCP refuses to divest from TikTok
#1. The CCCP is Soviet Russia. #2. The requirement is that Bytedance sells tiktok (along with it’s proprietary algorithms) to a US based company.
Well, then the only hope it has of winning is on first amendment grounds because they already said that they would not be willing to sell the algorithm.
Rough life.
Fuck mega corps including govt owned ones that arent actually owned by the people.
Meta, Amazon, etc should all get fuked as well
Once again, the app isnt going to be banned unless the CCCP refuses to divest from TikTok
CCCP 😂🤣😂. Fuck me that’s hilarious.
Yep its going to get banned.
Also I think you mean CCP
Ok then, let’s sue for the Chinese ban of literally most of the Internet. Where can I find the court that gives a shit about countries who don’t wanna participate in other countries Internet toys and what the fuck are they gonna do about it?
So… the company that was removed for spreading propaganda is suing for being removed for spreading propaganda and is using…. checks notes: propaganda as evidence.
This should be fun!
