Wow, any kind of proof behind that? TikTok was one of the few places I could actually watch live journalism from Gaza documenting the genocide, which sure seemed to provoke a propaganda campaign against it and pretty blatantly unconstitutional ban.

Exactly. Yeah, there's a whole lot of things wrong with TikTok, but banning it is censorship veiled as 'protecting the children' and shit.

Undermining your trust in the US media and political leadership. Ergo, Evil Chinese Propaganda.

I'll see if I can find the write up, but the app was reverse engineered and it did collect an alarming amount of personal data that an app wouldn't normally be allowed to. Also their algorithm has been criticized for ways it serves political content

This is what came up first and had comment from the person who reverse engineered it.

Random anonymous reddit user who didn't compile his findings into a report pointing to the places in the app binary where these things happen. OK.
