Tik Tok is Actually Being Banned! Here is why...

Tik tok is being banned in the United States. President Biden just signed the bill. TIk Tok has 9 months to sell it to an American company before they are removed from the google and apple stores.

Meanwhile we actually know that Google and Facebook not only collects massive amount of information outside the use of their apps but it is their primary source of income.

They cant control whats being said on there.. this is why this is happening

Hey now, _Who TF Did I Marry!?_ is the psychological thriller of the year. Without ClipClop, we would never have Kid Rock disowning a can of beer, or the _Hypothermia for Sclerosis_ challenge.

[@svenmify]

I don’t use or like TikTok. But this will mess with people’s livelihoods. Some creators make an income there but not on KZbin, and I empathise with them. Also regardless of my feelings towards TikTok, it’s always better not to have one company have a huge monopoly. But I guess TikTok being controlled by the ccp isn’t ideal either.

[@Um0k]

no way he started with a 9/11 joke im dead

[@novarobotslofi6596]

Literally why i never invested my music on the platform. Once these talks started a few years ago i saw the writing on the wall. Regardless of any hypocrisy with other apps, they were gunning for a ban. Not really sad to see it go though honestly..

[@florabee9283]

US gov wants access to the data, so it needs to be with US company or else!

[@mozzdog]

As far as what you can do with this data. Monthly TikTok challenges can be used to test specific psychological profiles with the purpose of pushing the limits of disruption and violence. Video data is currently being scraped to build profiles for advertising based on items in the background, clothes you're wearing, cars you're driving in and the meta info about your location. Data lakes store this info and machine learning uses it to train known information against location and willingness to perform trend videos personally or share with like minded people. TikTok and other platforms provide a treasure trove of information that can be used to find and develop disinformation, subversive messaging and train future bots to promote or discourage behavior as the chinese government sees fit.

[@You-ud2fp]

NEEERRRDDD

[@drakonyanazkar]

LOL There are some big leaps in logic, technology and purpose there. A bunch of those things are already easily done, others are straight up jumping to conclusions and gotta also remember that AI companies can already scrape the website (as well as YT or anything else) for that kind of thing. Plus, that's the kind of thing the USA does, not China. They're not the imperialist nation waving a big stick around.

[@idreaminstereo7802]

China doesn’t allow Tik Tok or American social media companies to operate in China 🤷‍♂️

[@hasan7786]

You might want to look that one up. Like really know what your talking about.

Pro tip: You can store TikToks in your freezer for at least 12 months if you stock up before the ban

[@jjjulez]

L no adhd corner... how am i supposed to watch this??

[@mozzdog]

It's not so much of what they could do, twice they have had data breaches where user data that was supposed to only go to us servers was routed to chinese servers. On both occasions, congress asked for an answer and both times TikTok said it wouldn't happen again.

[@enginerdy]

Oh dang, some traffic got rerouted through China? How about getting the other le ech tech companies to stop selling our data and the government to stop spying on us?

[@remixedcat]

I geofenced china out of my network since my firewall has whole country blocking features and I blocked china and tiktok still works...

[@mozzdog]

@@remixedcat Correct. Typically, TikTok data is routed to servers in the US. In the case of these breaches, China fell back on routes that, for redundancy, sent US traffic to servers based in China. This was never supposed to happen, and the CTO of TikTok promised it would never happen again, until it did. During that failover, terabytes of user information was sent, collected and eventually stored on servers in China. They will never delete that info. Also, although there are audits on the US side, there is no real guarantee that the hardware being used in the datacenters aren't providing information back to outside groups. This has been a concern in the telecom industry for years regarding backdoor access to chips manufactured in China that are commonly used in almost all telecom equipment. The Chinese government has been caught using those backdoors on several occasions. Look to the 2018 data breach of how chips were added to telecom equipment and servers to access data in US companies. So.. It is not unreasonable that a Chinese owned company, operating out the US would not necessarily scrutinize potential security threats from the Chines government.

[@warning_danger]

I am guessing kids already know what a VPN is...

[@Junebug879]

Yes I’m sure all the kids that use TikTok have their vpns on so the Chinese government doesn’t harvest their info 🤦

[@crnkmnky]

The kids will all learn by the time the courts make a final decision. 😏

This policy will let thought police break into your phone and see if you’re using a vpn

i don't use tiktok. not because some pretentious reason, it's just another social media app is something i do not need lol. twitter and instagram is already too much

[@crnkmnky]

This. I can only handle one social medium at a time. I really need to get off KZbin. 😫 I despise Twitter much more than TikTok. The way I've seen people argue on there is just too unhinged.

[@calebbhawkins]

For many reasons I have refused to be on TikTok with my music. Honestly I just hated the format. I’m still not totally sure how I feel about a ban though. But we shall see what happens.

[@sourceeee]

met all my talking stages on that app, gonna miss it fr 😭

TeekTock is the best way to break a song if you are not signed to a major label.

[@sirrealistic5625]

🤔 Is it a ban per se, or is it where they are being pressured to have to sell up to an American company?

[@crnkmnky]

Both.

[@itseddiepop]

Either it will be banned or worst the owners of Tic Tok will sell it to America, which is the only way the US will allow it to still exist here. Yikes, it will prob be worst

Theyl ban tik tok and someone or company in Usa will have made their own version of tiktok aka vine for my golden oldies

This TikTok ban is immensely hypocritical. _"You could use that info to sway our politics"_ Oh, so, like, what the USA does. Through companies, the CIA, media etc. etc. Every accusation is a confession. This is so petty it's a shame

[@MattStevens9824]

On TikTok, political opinions aside, when you go to Tech and Web Security KZbin channels (and they previously had an open mind about TikTok) they eventually discovered that the app DOES spy on more than what's known.

[@enginerdy]

Like Facebook AND Google? I’m not a fan of *any* spying, but let’s not be hypocrites.

[@MattStevens9824]

@@enginerdy Like I said political opinions aside (being fair) and this doesn't mean to say that Facebook and Google doesn't spy on us. My post never said that. Those two companies DO. The only difference between them and TT is how deep, is it the info we consented to in the Terms of Usage, and WHERE the information goes.

[@MattStevens9824]

Of course, I personally prefer the info to stay in home soil where there's still a system of freedom, security, and regulatory controls on the companies who have that information. It's not perfect but it's better vs the competition.

[@enginerdy]

@@MattStevens9824 This is a distinction without a difference. All of these companies are using your information in unknowable and obfuscated ways for their own benefit, with no ability to opt out beyond leaving whole communities.

[@enginerdy]

@@MattStevens9824 is it really, though?

[@calebbhawkins]

Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while.

[@crnkmnky]

It's funny that the TikTokers are promising to hold Biden responsible for this in November, when "the other party" hates TikTok even more. 🙃 I've always found it interesting that we blame the executive who signs the bills, when half the time they weren't very involved in the drafting process.
