(yes, I also see that it says Chinease)
TikTok is Chinese spyware. Chrome is American spyware. Anyone in their right mind should stop using both.
Is your kink getting watched over the shoulder by a big oily fat guy that sweats and breaths through the mouth? Ah and it tries to convince you the buy useless shit
I hear this all the time. I have this conversation on the regular.
Them: “Oh you think Tik Tok is spyware?”
Me: “yes”
Them: “I’ll have you know so is Google, Apple, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Microsoft, and all the big American companies too”
Me: “Yeah, that’s why I don’t use them”
Them: gasp “you’re just paranoid bro are you a drug dealer or something?”
Me: “no, I just like my privacy. You probably wouldn’t like it if some guy was following you keeping tabs about everything you do either.”
Them: “well I’ve got nothing to hide”
Me: “maybe the next person in power might see your current and past beliefs illegal”
Just ask them if they have curtains or blinds on their windows at home. They have nothing to hide, right?
Me: “do you close the bathroom door while shitting?”
Them: “yes”
Me: “why? You have nothing to hide”
Foreign spyware is stealing jobs from hardworking American spyware.
That’s America spyware. I have standards. /s
“But at least is LOCAL spyware 😎”
Which honestly to me seems worse right I mean its potentially going to someone who is much closer to you geographically (not always of course).
Google using your perceived preferences to sell you underwear and yogurt is not worse than being tracked by the world’s largest hostile militaristic dictatorship.
Well say you googled a lot about abortions in a state that will put you in prison for it. Then it becomes a different situation. Or say you grow mushrooms to treat cluster headaches and the DEA now probably knows about it because that buy the data from all of these companies and can see the many searches you made about it the credit card you used to purchase supplies etc. I feel like China will probably just try to steal your crypto or something
