[@LeahBreHappy]

How can other countries influence our political views by using tiktok? It doesn't make sense.

[@asalmea]

@@LeahBreHappywow it’s been well proven that their algorithms will prioritize and push content that is in line with their views… if they want to push conspiracy content, pro China content, pro Biden or pro Trump content or anti Biden or Trump, anti America the list goes on and on…Social Media segments society into groups or keep receiving the same messaging over and over again in their feeds (that’s why it’s called a Feed) the more you consume the more it reinforces those views. Try clicking on a Flat Earther meme or post and see what happens. You’ll start getting conspiracy theories content that may make you start believing that the Earth actually IS flat! That’s an extreme example that still depends on how gullible you are, but there’s lots of examples of this influence. Sometimes it could be subconscious and we fall under a socialized Mob Rule mentality. These platforms have become an emotional and socio-political brain hack. And nearly no one is immune.

I can’t speak on tiktok in this case, but Facebook was caught buying dozens of apps such as data compressors, (they were used to reduce data use and bandwidth consumption on older phones), and installing RATs in the apps code. They used these RATs to steal user data from millions of people, whether or not they had ever had Facebook, as well as committing man-in-the-middle attacks on their competitors (actual cyber crime), i.e. Snapchat, twitter, etc. What they were doing was falsifying digital certificates to impersonate the servers of their competitors, and then when they received the packets meant for the real servers, they stole the data inside to spy on the inner workings of the platform.

I'm a software engineer. As a software engineer, I can sell my knowledge and skills to many different employers in exchange for money. This principle should be true of social media influencers as well. If your income is solely dependent upon Tiktok, then you didn't manage your career effectively and that's a personal problem. If you're a social media influencer, you should probably diversify your skillset so that you are marketable across platforms. Because of that I have no sympathy for those affected by a ban of Tiktok, especially when the reasons are to protect national security.

@@lz2012 Only like 20 to 30% of my job is actually writing code, which AI coding assistants can help with. It's also heavily dependent on what you are working on and if your company even allows these tools (because they collect data and there are a lot of laws on what a company can "give"). Most of my job is working with stakeholders to establish requirements and acceptance criteria, architectural design, and working with other teams in different divisions of the company to determine things like responsibility and ownership of different business functions. It's nice to be able to say "write unit tests for this" or something though, but even that doesn't always work because an AI tool will often times try to write unit tests that satisfy all code paths, when really your unit tests should imitate business logic that moves through your code.
