The China-centric video sharing platform is expanding with a new international app and an English version of its website -- with no identity verification (for now at least)

Sure, but I'd rather have my info safely offshore in China than to give it right to big brother. I also bet far far fewer ads and more fun commercials because you have no idea what they are about. They are currently destoyjng the natural order in printer ink. I support that wholeheartedly. My Epson inks are 90 and the knockoffs are 20 and work just as well. It's always temporarily beneficial when player 2 enters the market.

*Edit it does not like vpns. That's a no for me.

Ah yes, instead of US big brother you give it to offshore Big Brother.

But China isn't going to sell my data to Uncle Sam to help deport my family (who are legal citizens). So there's that.

Are you really sure? Oh wait, you're from .ml you probably actually believe it.

Why would you think that?

[–] Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Who is more of a direct threat to US citizens ? At the moment I would say there's way more chance ICE will come after you for posting or speaking out or protesting or hell just being you. I can't remember the last time I worried about China selling me something because that's what they will use the data for.

I'd say China is the greatest threat to U.S. sovereignty but that's a discussion no one here seems to want to have. No one seems to think TikTok is an issue apparently.

Edit: it's been an issue since musical.ly, just so we're clear

Weird, the few times I've used it I had no problem with my VPN.

I'll try again when I'm back on my own laptop.
