TikTok is Chinese espionage that turns your device into a data siphon for the worst elements of the Chinese regime. If you haven't already, you should absolutely delete it immediately. #CoSoSec #RandomThoughts
(That includes any default TikTok integration that might exist within your project metas, website owners.)
^^ Why aren't we suggesting the same for Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.?
The #CoSoSec savvy among us absolutely are. Those apps are evil, but not quite to the same extent as TikTok.
U.S. based corporations are still beholden to U.S. privacy laws. TikTok is not, and doesn't give a flying f*ck about violating them to nefarious ends.
@NorthernInvader @kel exactly! That's why I'm on CoSo (almost exclusively). You KNOW companies will do anything for access to that market!
@Gambit_1 @kel which is not to say that some may be doing it willingly to maintain their presence in China
