God when the whole Tiktok thing in Congress was going on nobody wanted to hear that their favorite big tech social media app was already selling information to China; had been caught doing so multiple times; and had never stopped despite promises and threats of prosecution the next time.

WHAT information? What does China gain by learning that Sparky Douchebag watches BBQ and catgirl fapping videos? Are they planning their invasion based on the Heathers Challenge, or simply stealing our makeup tips?

Search the company Tencent.
Then look at how many shares they have on companies around the world.
And then think about it. What power does Google have? What power probably Tencent has.

Look into the research that has proven that the app has backdoors baked in, and combine that with how widespread it is - reaching every level of society; every industry, politician, branch and level of the military. Now remember that research into the Spyware activities of the app.
TikTok is the largest, most successful self-inflicted virus for SigInt ever. [citation needed]

That doesnt answer my question. What information?

Look, it’s not what bs viral video the algorithm is feeding these people. It’s the spyware it’s putting on the phones. It has been proven that the app harvests all the data it can find and phones it home. Backdoor root-level access has also been proven. If you can’t figure out why that would be bad, you probably have problems pouring water out of a boot with instructions on the heel.

I havent seen anything on it that’s any different from Alex Jones’ christofascist tantrums, Kanye’s Hitler rants, or Tomi Lauren trying to pretend she’s a patriot blowup doll
