The Adversary

Ah yes, a chair that collects your data.

I dont get the meme, maybe because the person doesn’t understand what tiktok is about and thinks his loved country is attacked?

Edit: crazy that truth doesn’t be liked or any serious commitment to correct me. Chinese fan boys are really part of a cringe community

Kirkland All-Beef Frankfurters send information about your intestinal fauna back to China.

Can i interest you in something called IoT

Has nothing to do with this meme, dafuq

You think the problem with tiktok was that it was simply made in China?

Not the fact that it collected vast amount of data from everyone?

And here’s a friendly reminder that Lenovo has had their very fair share of problems regarding security and data collection too.

So it works exactly like every other social media app, but made in… China?

But the data is sent to China for them to analyze and create models of citizen movement, influencing forgein citizens by deciding what content they see.

Yes. A government is ok with tracking their own citizens. But don’t want other governments to track their citizens.

and now you understand how the rest of the world feels about US media

collecting vast amount of data ? facebook does that too and instagram and google and who knows what else

But not for a foreign government (from their perspective).

Why not? Half of them will sell to the highest bidder

Yeah good old american spyware

even IF it was true why would u give a shit about a foreign government having ur data, then assholes that are gonna swat u or kidnap u into an unlabeled van arent gonna be foreign they dont fucking care its gonna be ur government doing that shit.

Yes. But the US can control US based companies, and create laws regarding how that data is used. They can’t control a chineese one.

Do you understand how the US government might think it’s a problem that foreign countries get access to every step their citizens take?

But the US can control US based companies, and create laws regarding how that data is used

Does that matter if they don’t create said laws - since they’re equally interested in their citizens data as facebook, google, etc. are?

us gov IS controlled by us corps they banned tiktok to get rid of competition. with the ever green excuse in amerikkkan politics of appealing to racism

Yes, we should ban all those, too. Or just enforce EU style privacy laws in America.

crazy i wonder why the infinity racists amerikkkans decided to start with the platform that is mildly associated with china. surely it has nothing to do with their with the fact that they are most racists people on earth.

Ah yes because as the first step isn’t all the way to the goal, we shouldn’t have taken it.

-associated +controlled but that can do

to be fair, while the microwave might be collecting your info, it isn’t shaping your children.

The current US President is committing genocide and he grew up watching Howdy Doody.

the capitalist hellscape your children are living in is what’s actually shaping them

In this picture they’re all examples of that. Either capitalist spyware or straight up worker oppression powered manufacturing

As if the data just lays somewhere and just get collected, obviously it is sold to the highest bidder which knows what to do with it

don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean to minimize that side, I just think there’s a fair argument to be made that direct control of peoples eyeballs are potentially, comparatively, much more powerful.
