That’s true. Apparently 4 years ago they were collecting info that created a national security threat.
I wonder what that information was and how it differed from all the other companies? I highly doubt TIk Tok can collect data the others can’t. Seems to me that it wouldn’t matter who collects it. IMO this is more about the government’s desire to control “misinformation” and alternative viewpoints.
Still, we need to ban every freaking app and tech company from collecting any of your information.
How so? Be specific. Everyone is collecting data. Not just TikTok.
“Apparently 4 years ago they were collecting info that created a national security threat.”
Then restrict those who have government secrets from using it. Those could very well have been shared the same on any other platform like Facebook or Twitter. Or even here for that matter. Public is public no matter from what source. Those with secrets should not be using ANY of those platforms at all for this type of information. So it is not the platform, it is those who use them to share secrets who is at fault here.
The responsibility is not on the platform it is on the user to be prudent.
