Just imagine what the Chinese government could do to you with your data, someone who lives in a different country on the other side of the planet
why the Chinese would want data of teenagers doing silly dancers
Apparently there are people who legitimately believe that TikTok is a Chinese op to destroy Western civilisation with said dances
Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Instagram, Reddit etc are just fine for some reason though
if that was true it would be both hilarious and unfathomably based
Magical girl anime where they floss and it magically kills nazi vampires or something
It's literally CIA

Right? If I were American 🤢 , I would be more worried about the FBI having my data. I've never understood the argument about CcP sTeaLinG dAtA, when they can't do anything against you with it.
President xi learning when I walk to a car from my phones gps and pulling an elaborate system of pulleys from his office in Beijing all the way to my yard that trips me
Xi has personal sleeper agents lurking in every corner of the globe. Once anyone says anything bad about China, they are immediately terminated. :xi-shining: :xi-god-emperor:
You are thinking of US soldiers using Strava, an SF company, to log their runs thanks to the whole GPS tracking and posting it on social media for everyone to see. Or the soldiers that posted the F-35 crash video, countries don't need an app to spy on soldiers, all they need to do is look what they are posting. That's literally just it follow the best posting soldiers and you get pictures from inside cockpits, ships etc. you don't need sophistication just manpower to look through all the posts.
Damn kids today using Tiktok to give the Chinese government all sorts of information... How hard is it to get off your ass and visit the embassy to set up a network of dead drop locations?
I’m touring the US making TikToks of the interiors and layouts of every government building and military base
so i accidentally clicked on my replies on :reddit-logo: (i turned off notifications like a year ago) and like in the top 5 of hundreds of ignored replies was that giant copypasta 1989 tiananmen square with like hanzi logograms interspersed with single line english descriptions of events that, taken cumulatively, reddit brains thing will like get a chinese person using the internet in trouble.
pretty sure i haven't even said anything about china on reddit in months. i can't remember, but i think my last few posts have been about how fucked up the cops are in the u.s. so naturally i must be a chinese guy. kinda sweet that they think some rando chinese dude has completely cracked conversational anglo slang. maybe they think i'm like a high level super spy, like i was trained in this sort of situation .
If I find out that the bear website is selling my data to the CPC I'm fuckin' out of here.
You better be providing it to them free of charge.
Maybe the real data was inside us all along :thinking-about-it:
The Anti-Rightwing Campaign is still a sore point in China and they don't allow it to be brought up at all. I don't see why; it was a very successful conclusion to a clever stratagem by Mao to smoke out the reactionaries still hiding in the CPC.
Mao was just copy catting Stalin and his purges :soviet-huff:
Let a thousand flowers bloom.
so you can locate the disgusting evil ones and burn them.
they go straight to Mao's iPhone and he reads through everything so be weary
I suddenly understand why there is a gamer circlejerk against Epic Games, but not against Steam which in my experience is equally as shitty of an end-user experience
Besides that Epic also created exclusivity licenses with some games on PC that prevented those games from being on Steam. Which people didn't like
Steam generally has a lot more features
All I know is I’m a casual dabbler who has used both, and found both to be equally annoying.
Exclusivity licenses aren’t really anything new. Is Taco Bell evil for hogging Baja Blast? Aren’t these gamer Chuds free-market libertarians and liberals? Whatever happened to consensual contractual agreement between two parties? Exclusivity Agreements are part of free enterprise bitch
Yeah I agree its nothing new. Technically speaking Sony buying a studio to make exclusive PlayStation games is "more exclusive" than Epic paying to keep Hitman 3 only on Epic (which does not affect consoles). People are used to one and not the other. That being said I would have no reason to play on Epic over Steam. Steam has better Linux compatibility, makes it easier to share games with other accounts, lets you play "local co-op" online with other people who don't own that game.
There's also legitimate complaints about Epic's security. After a leak it was revealed that usernames and passwords were stored in plaintext. I don't trust a company that lazy with their security with my credit card info.
I love how people freak out about China having their data. What are they doing to do with it? Your own government will oppress you, entrap you, arrest you, kill you. China could maybe use your data as an example of how fucking dire it is to live under capitalism and that's about it.
