Is enabling a genocide authoritarianism or is it good and holy?
nomy@lemmy.zip 3 days ago
They didn’t say anything about a genocide, they’re talking about Spyware apps. Your brainrot is showing, you’re unable to follow logic, try to stay on topic.

Our phones are full of blatant authoritarian spyware already. What’s one more? I’d rather the CCP own my data than Meta or Microsoft anyways.

Yeah nothing of an average person’s phone comes close to tiktok. It a tally has arbitrary code execution it uses to essentily custom fit it’s spying per user.
It’s like saying “well I already have microplastics in me” and chugging a bottle of lead acetate.

Relax, they’re just doing some “advanced” compartmentalization to get their social credit up.
On a serious note, you have to realise that some people genuinely do not care. Why? For many reassons. But an important one is that privacy concerns are a source of anxiety, at least for me. It’s difficult, it sounds paranoid and unreasonable to somebody who’s “not in the know”.
I think we should introduce privacy at a more generic level. We shouldn’t judge people for using these apps, no matter how bad we may think they are.
Take back control of your data. Take back the power you’re giving to big tech. You have that right.

I will say I don’t get quite the logic of being like:
“Yeah this countries spyware is bad so I’m running straight into the arms of this other countries spyware just to stick it to you original spyware!”
Instead of just, like, getting off the spyware.
It’s like being robbed and pulling out a gun to shoot yourself before the robber can and throwing your wallet into a street.
Sure it spites the robber but they can just shrug and move on to a weirdo who isn’t shooting themselves and they will probably just loot your pockets for spare change anyways.
Maybe I don’t feel that drive to be social at all costs.nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 2 days ago
Most people do not care about digital privacy to the extent that they’ll ever give anything up to achieve it. Online communities are not in any way representative of the general attitude towards these issues.
If I ask people whether they’re willing to put a mic in their house to let me spy on everything they’re saying they’ll say no. If I say it’ll also turn lights on and off and play despacito on demand the vast majority say yes. In isolation people prefer privacy, so long as it costs literally nothing. As long as they have to give up nothing. That’s where we are, unfortunately.

People are disgusted by the idea that one random person could track their every move and read everything they write.
Unless that person is employed at a large corporation.
I used to date a Google employee. They had a Signal chat where they shared screenshots of funny or interesting shit they saw on the user accounts.

That’s horrific. I hope your relationship ended amicably?
sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 3 days ago
Its actually worse than that.
I’ve recently met an increasing number of Gen Alpha / Zoomers that all have each other in some kind of family location tracking app, so they all know each other’s locations at all times, and actually you’re a rude asshole if you think that’s weird
LucidNightmare@lemm.ee 3 days ago
I’m pretty sure most people who are doing this are trying, in their own way, to make a point.
It wasn’t about “national security”. It was about a large digital meeting place where ideas could be shared, or feelings and frustrations at their government could be seen and felt by others who felt the same. Big Brother doesn’t like that, unless it is on US Corporate Approved Social Media, where they can promptly shut you down, or get their algorithm to put post with specific keywords out of the eyes of as many as possible.
So, instead of creating actual data privacy laws, as they should have, they decided to attack TikTok, because Mark Zuckerburg got in front of congress during whatever case it was that brought his lizard ass in the room (maybe the Cambridge Analytica scandal?) and said that TikTok was more dangerous than his own platform.
There you go. It was never about “national security”, as there were much better ways to handle that than banning one single app.
Tabooki@lemm.ee 3 days ago
China was caught logging every keystroke through this. It’s why some revamped it’s permissions a while ago.
In China it shows people how to be good, science, technology., education, nature.
Here it show kids to eat tide pods.
It’s a propaganda method for China.

Doing the the thing in direct opposition to what an authority is demanding is like a trauma response or something.
SoJB@lemmy.ml 3 days ago
The shit liberals just go along with because it fits their propaganda is genuinely fucking hilarious.
It’s not that deep. AIPAC fucking hated how the truth about Israel’s genocide was spreading, and told their puppets to ban it.
The DNC chose to lose 3 branches of government rather than disobey Israel.
TeraByteMarx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 days ago
Yeah. Lemmy users should spend a bit of time deconstructing why tik tok makes them so angry. There’s a bit to unpack there. Not that it isn’t trash.
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 days ago
They did write data privacy laws when they banned TikTok. Read HR 815 Division H and Division I of 118th Congress, which is just HR 7520 and 7521 bundled into a larger bill.
The original text of HR 7520 is:
Definition of Foreign Adversary:
Which states:
But I think it also includes a few other countries, idk if this text is up to date.
bestagon@lemmy.world 3 days ago
IT professionals clutching their pearls is just this year’s “won’t somebody think of the bank windows!” Our data is fucked already. Security and privacy had been made worthless now and only seems to have a compensative value to tech companies. So why not cast it to the wind and watch them scramble after it?

I am still angry at Facebook for normalizing using your real name. That eroded a lot of basic security practices.
Now little 7yos share mommy’s credit card in YouTube comments.
BlueLineBae@midwest.social 4 days ago
I used to be disgusted that people didn’t seem to care that they were risking their own privacy and national security to boot. But then I remembered that our own government won’t do anything to keep our individual privacy in check from corporations. So as long as that’s the case, I don’t see why anyone should give a fuck. The government did this to themselves.

Sabata11792@ani.social 4 days ago
Makes sense as the only difference is jurisdiction, who steals your data, and what flavor the propaganda is. You got 2 bad options:
The fully automated
malware“advertisement” system that steals every loose bit of information on device and sends it to the highest bidder and the US government(if they pay) while telling you how you feel and what to buy.OR
The fully automated
malware“for your safety” system that steals every loose bit of information on device and sends it to the Chinese government while telling you how you feel and that you love the government or else. As a bonus it will piss off a boomer in congress.They clearly don’t know or understand any alternatives otherwise they would go there.

Easy choice. The US gov has massive power over me. The Chinese gov has near zero.
If I had to choose I’m definitely going for the Chinese.
ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Let’s be real the only reason tiktok is getting banned is because the US govt isn’t getting any tax money from all the data being harvested.
At least with other social media that openly sells your data to foreign countries the govt can collect that sweet sweet tax money to line the pockets of people with too much money as it is.
frostysauce@lemmy.world 3 days ago
It’s nothing to do with tax revenue and everything to do with controlling the narrative through social media. More specifically the fact they couldn’t use TikTok to convince people there was no genocide in Gaza was what kicked all of this off.
leadore@lemmy.world 3 days ago
The real reason is that it’s competition for the broligarchs. They want it gone, thinking that all that traffic will come to their platforms.
That’s why there’s no chance that the govt will do what many in this thread are saying would be logical–ban the data collection and manipulation itself, not just one foreign competitor–be consistent, Meta, X, etc. should also be banned.
So regardless of how stupid people are for signing up on the Chinese alternatives, at least it’s good that they’re refusing to move to Meta, YT, X, etc. They’re deliberately not rewarding the broligarchs.

Wasn’t just the corpos it was a joint project between the corps and the government. And in rebellion people are giving a rival nation full access to everything. If China had an obligation competitor you would be smart betting that they would’ve seen millions of holes before dawn just form people trying to spit in the face if tbe US.
Its a sensible protest, wtf is China going to do with that data that the US government and attached corporations wouldn’t do, right?
