TikTok is a social media app that tracks an incredible amount of data. A change of location will not change this.

Every bad thing about Tiktok is also true about Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

You're right. I hope you're not saying that in order to defend TikTok but rather to support banning Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram too.

[–] 0x815@feddit.de 3 points 8 months ago

I have to disagree, not every bad thing ...

You probably couldn’t reasonably sue a chinese company for mis-use

True but it's an order of magnitude worse on Tiktok. All of it.

[–] turkishdelight@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

why worse? It's just exchanging American spies with Chinese spies.. Both are bad, but Americans are worse

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I wasn't talking about the spying. Even if no one was spying, Tiktok is still societal cancer.
