China need not try to interfere with the 2024 election. Joe Biden has partnered with the Communist China owned TikTok.
TikTok is a data mining operation masquerading as social media. Consumer Reports:
A Consumer Reports investigation finds that TikTok, one of the country’s most popular apps, is partnering with a growing number of other companies to hoover up data about people as they travel across the internet. That includes people who don’t have TikTok accounts.ABC News
A ban on TikTok in the United States or a sale of the app by its Chinese owner, ByteDance, will not resolve national security concerns or fears TikTok could be used to siphon Americans' data, according to a new cybersecurity report obtained by ABC News.The Guardian
US Federal Agencies have expressed deep concerns about TikTok. Christopher Wray, 11/22:Cybersecurity experts have warned Australian TikTok users that the Chinese government could use the app to harvest personal information, from in-app messages with friends to precise device locations.
The warnings follow a report by Australian-US cybersecurity firm Internet 2.0, which found the most popular social media app of the year collects “excessive” amounts of information from its users.
“We do have national security concerns, obviously from the FBI’s end, about TikTok,”
"This is a tool that is ultimately within the control of the Chinese government - and it, to me, it screams out with national security concerns,"Sen, Tom Cotton:
Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., has also called for a nationwide ban on TikTok, saying last month that the CEO is "lying" about the app being safe for users. "We should ban it," Hawley previously told Fox News' Sean Hannity. "It tracks everything you do on your phone. It tracks everywhere you go, every text message you send, every email you write, and it's — all that information — all of it's available to the Chinese Communist Party."This is the perfect venue for Joe Biden to transmit information the CCP. After all, the Biden family has taken in $31 million from China. They clearly were expecting something in return. It seems reasonable to think China would love to see Biden for another four years.

I’m surprised taylor swift didn’t join him....cuz you know it’s coming.
Thanks
Tom Clancy would never have penned such a scenario as he would determine it to be too unrealistic.
“Data mining” isn’t as big a threat as data aggregation.
The big tech companies as well as the old sector utilities and commerce have been selling your data for decades, and there are other tech companies that buy it up and put it all together, all specifically to be able to keep and sell entire profiles on people.
The buyers (and the sellers) aren’t all just using it for marketing purposes either.
This stuff isn’t new. “Cambridge Analytica” sound familiar to anyone? They were building political profiles on people and got caught doing it. They are just the tip of the iceberg. There are a lot of entities, including state actors, who are a lot better at this stuff who don’t get caught.
Who actually thinks the likes of China or North Korea or Russia or Iran wouldn’t love to get terabytes of data on American citizens?
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the deep state is only worried about catholics and (legal) gun owners.
Thanks. Always great words from Matt.
This is in addition to the cooperation that he receives from the top Western propaganda outlets. Heck, he doesn’t even have to pay them.
This is an accurate headline.

"On average 98% of your website visitors are anonymous; not anymore! Add our easy to install pixel to your website and start unlocking 30+ data points on your anonymous website visitor’s, including: full names, emails, physical addresses, phone numbers & which pages (and how often) they are visiting your website."
I don’t understand the overreaction.
Despite what they tell you, all ‘apps’ gather data. If there is terabytes of data out there to get, that means our government already has access to it. Since that data is on servers connected to the internet, it is accessible by foreign countries, as the internet is world-wide.
Trying to shut down TIK-TOK is like shutting the barn door after all the horses have run away.
Aimed at channel most commonly used by illegal aliens.
China and , yes, Russia, want Biden to win re election. Even though they despise “Woke” culture. In fact Russia wants the Ukraine war to continue indefinitely as it drains and strains NATO.
Collusion!
