As Washington Wakes Up to TikTok Threats, The Democrats Launch Their Official Account.

The Democratic National Committee has officially joined TikTok, a controversial social media platform with deep ties to the Chinese Communist Party, despite advising their own campaigns against joining the Chinese-owned app during the 2020 election cycle.

“We continue to advise campaign staff to refrain from using TikTok on personal devices. If you are using TikTok for campaign work, we recommend using a separate phone and account,” the DNC security team instructed its candidates two years ago.

Despite the warning, the Democratic Party has completed an about-face on the platform, at the same time Washington, D.C. begins to take seriously the threat of spying through the app.

The DNC’s stark reversal comes amidst evidence revealing that the TikTok parent company employs former Chinese Communist Party officials, including individuals with military ties, to executive roles and even grants party members preferential treatment in hiring processes.

The app’s founder also pledged to use ByteDance to “promote socialist core values” and devotion to the Chinese Communist Party in 2018.

I’m sure this surprises no one with 0.0025% of a clue.

Please remember that its election integrity and the people counting the votes that decide the election. Wisconsin Supreme Court already ruled drop boxes illegal. Pray that other states follow suit. There are so many people both red and blue that are disgusted with this administration that if 11/2022 is remotely free & fair then house and senate will almost certainly be Conservative controlled. Pray. Use your head. Vote RED.

the power to end the tech tyranny lies in our hands:

18 July: Australian Financial Review: TikTok and social media data collection a concern, says cyber minister
by Max Mason
On Monday, The Australian Financial Review reported analysis by Canberra-based cybersecurity and intelligence firm Internet 2.0 (LINK) that revealed TikTok checks its users’ device location at least once an hour; continuously requests access to contacts even if the user originally denies; maps a device’s running apps and all installed apps; and more as part of broad permissions asked of users...

Ms O’Neil said that the Australian government has the report and has been aware of the issues it raises for some years.
“They are complex and difficult and don’t just relate to TikTok,” she said...

The admission that Australian user data can be accessed by employees in mainland China has raised concerns by politicians and security experts about the safety of that information due to reports and research on the links between ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, and the Chinese Communist Party, and the spreading of propaganda and censorship.

The analysis by Internet2.0 said the version of the TikTok app that runs on Apple devices “had a server connection to mainland China”...

Funny you post this...I noticed this week at least one of the local Miami media tv stations is now promoting its TIKTOK account...same station is very biased to the Democrat party.

So who is going to stop them? Democrats are starting to act pretty comfortable about coming out of the communist closet. Almost like they know something about November. While Conservatives just write strongly-worded twitters, resting their head on marshmallow pillows dreaming of unicorns and the "Red Tsunami".

I have seen this act before. While the red, white and blue hero poses for the adoring fans, the dark, evil villain, pulls a folding chair from under the ring...

Only an act of GOD can save America. We’re dealing with compromised legislators and judges on both sides of the aisle.

Time for all believers to put on the Armor of God, stand and keep standing until the battle is over, and pray for Christians everywhere.

Remember, the Revolutionary War was won by only a few God-fearing men and women.
