Lol I would not download TikTok onto any device that I own and have sensitive data on. You thought Facebook snooped on you? TikTok was straight up grabbing your clipboard from your phone and any other data it could

Never downloaded it either as it seemed even worse than FB. But I will say that the TikTok clips I see on Twitter are hilarious.

"Specific US citizens" certainly doesn't involve me. 

If you're a person who's work activities have any interest to China and you download it you should be fired. 

I downloaded it to keep track of the kid but not on my main phone. On my old phone I wiped clean and use on wifi that doesn't have anything of value on it.

I mean, at this point, based on all of the monitoring and leaks on all the apps, I presume that EVERYONE knows every specific about my porn search history.

That's why I introduce myself as "Brisketexan, you know, the guy who clicks on every "dirty housewife making tacos while wearing only a backwards baseball cap" video he can find" - I find that it puts people at ease, and helps them realize I'm a regular guy with regular tastes just like them.

I'm amazed that it's not common knowledge, that this is why TikTok exists in the first place. It was always a way for the Chinese government to spy on people.

Well, seeing some of the content linked from here, I’d have to believe the Chicoms would be scared shitless at what goes on in America.

China has to be shocked at how easy this was.  “Wait, you mean the app you designed to lure every American into giving you their data was an app that … just did what 100 other apps already did? And they knew all along that the Chinese government was behind it?”

There really weren't any apps that did what it did (Vine had been the closest but had gone defunct), which is why it became so popular (a pandemic keeping people home and bored also helped).

i'm not mad at gen z making fun of millennials for being boomers because I open up tiktok and immediately don't get it. I understand that this is what the children like. is part of it that they have airpods in all the time? Or is it boomer for me to be weirded out at the idea that what I'm looking at on my phone leaks into the surrounding environment?

Almost as easy as the US government convincing people to willingly hand over their DNA samples.

"Oooh, I can find out more about my ancestry? Sign me up!"

I'm 55 and I think tik tok is awesome. Tons of hysterical and informative content. Plus girls shaking their tits. Privacy? Get fucked; nobody cares. I could have everyone of your ss numbers in 15 minutes if I gave a shit. There is no more Privacy. Calm yourselves republican and libertarian squares.

Yea I'm old and think TikTok is hilarious. That said, I only see reposted tiktok videos because I'll never download that chinese spyware, nor will anyone in my family.

Yeah, I'm 37, but I hate watching any type of video on my phone, especially if there are people around. If I'm trying to figure out how to do something, give text and some pictures to go along with it instead of a video. Especially if I need to filter through irrelevant information just to find what I need.

govt employees 

Yep. I used to support the iPhone for an agency. Can't count how many OIG requests I had to investigate due to dipshits installing tik tok and other shit on their govt phones.
