My data is already bought and sold by companies. But when government agencies do it, suddenly we only need to stop them. Stop this madness. It shouldn’t matter if it’s corporations or a government, why not stop the sale of people’s data?

Just because one thing is bad doesn’t mean other things can’t be.

Tiktok is bad because it weaponizes short attention span laziness and feeds depression.

TOR is bad because there is a good chance the government has stripped away its privacy capabilities.

Frankly in my mind that makes Tiktok a fucktonne worse.

Most of the people ‘harmed’ by TOR exit node scraping are pedos and illegal weapons dealers.

Most of the people harmed by tiktok is literally 2 generations of youth.

Can you not see the difference?

Your argument about the downsides of tiktok (attention span and laziness) applies to anything

Lol no, Bytedance hired a whole think tank of psychologists to create a second filter standard for non-Chinese users that is differently curated from their Chinese user set. I’m not even wasting the time to detail it more because it has been in the news for years now
