TikTok used its X account to reject the US action against it.
The filing also alleges that TikTok tools allow for "triggering of the suppression of content on the platform based on the user's use of certain words. Although this tool contained certain policies that only applied to users based in China, others such policies may have been used to apply to TikTok users outside of China."
The filing contains details that suggest Oracle may have been better off not getting the gig as TikTok's stateside host
DoJ alleges "significant amounts of restricted US user data (including but not limited to personally identifiable information)" was shared over Lark"
It gets worse: the filing claims "Lark contained multiple internal search tools that had been developed and run by China-based ByteDance engineers for scraping TikTok user data, including US user data."
US claims TikTok shipped personal data to China – very personal data
Department's views emerged in a filing from the US government in response to attempts by TikTok and its parent company ByteDance to strike down laws that force a sale of the platform's stateside operations – and closure if that can't be arranged.

For one mostly all the Guardian journalists covering Israel war daily are also questionable and all the rest of media outlets you see a pattern after a while
Its pure hate mostly
@corlin @Kinnison other conflicts?
Media mostly stay silent with some reporting of it but nothing like Gaza and outrage aimed at Israel so ask yourself why is that?
Only one reason
Look at what happened in Yemen for years 900.000 + killed no outrage and shouting about genocide and kids starving ?
war in Sudan has become one of the worst ongoing humanitarian crises in the world

They'd make money from it as people would resist the "new order" chaos could happen - civil wars, wars, to bring people in line - sounds very extreme I know and highly unlikely - but makes you think what if?
What if these people do get people into positions to push hard their world agenda - its a dangerous game and why ALL politicians should be transparent people should know who backs them and what agendas they believe
