If they ban tiktok are they going to ban all the Chinese apps in the app store that are equally capable of spying?

The Chinese make about half the apps on the Apple app store. Probably more in the Android store. All of them are just as able to be spyware as TikTok is. In fact more so. The amount of Wireshark TikTok has been exposed to and will continue to be exposed to is far more than the various obscure apps you have. Half of which or known to be Chinese. A half of the remaining could be the chinese using a straw developer in another country. Any of the for certain Chinese ones have the same obligation to share data with the government TikTok has.

If they ban TikTok and only TikTok the only differentiating factor it has verse a large number of allowed apps is the speech they've allowed. This would be congress singling out a single company for punishment over speech it has allowed others to do. IDK. Maybe TikTok would have a case in the courts.

Some say "yeah, but TikTok is a larger company more capable of doing shady processing of the data they recieve on the back end." What with their algorithms! We don't know what these "smaller" companies back ends look like. If they are a state sponsored data collection their back end processing could be just as capable. Heck they could just raw dog the data sharing and give everything to the chinese government and then the CCP could apply whatever sophistication is claimed TikTok has exclusive access to.

Banning TikTok because it's Chinese while China is the single largest app source in general makes no logical sense. Maybe we shouldn't have a bunch of Chinese apps on a device with a mic that's always on and always with us. But then let's fix that if that's a problem.

Are you serious?

If so, you are a special kind of stupid.

TikTok ban has nothing to do with "muh CCP spying".

Nothing government does has anything to do with what they say it does.

Very often the exact opposite is the goal.

Less often some completely unrelated thing is the goal.

100% of the time, they are going to fuck you in the ass and you are going to happily vote for it and pay for it because you love sucking jew cock.

I don't think they care so much about our private data going to the Chinese, but the amount of noticing on these platforms. X has become the new /pol and while it's freaking awesome the amount of jew naming going on, I fear we've been corralled there for tracking or worse. There's rumblings this morning of jews planning something akin to another 9/11. Who knows they might EMP us and take down the whole Internet.

They won't take down the means of their financial control, let alone their means of social control/propaganda.

It's too hard for the jews to control the Internet, unless they roll out incredible draconian measures.

Thought I read something earlier about recent updates to state sponsored news, that can only be reached through radio.

Still, they'll probably pull some sort of bullshit and blame Iran

You're legit posting on a containment board. "it's too hard."

The internet has been the most successful control mechanism ever invented by the global regime, second only to the existing financial system, both of which are mutually dependent on one another.
One goes down, the other goes down, and the regime loses control, so they can't and won't.

You disappoint me this day, regardless of my Joycean immunity.

How so?

You may be right about the containment board, but one simply has to visit new Twitter to see the majority waking up to the jews, even if some sects of kikes want antisemitism

Well, no. They’re moving people toward Chinese apps that have even more spying. The point is to ban jew-naming.

The good news if ticktok gets banned, sites like Voat will get an influx of users.
The bad news is they're going to be the most retarded variation of Zoomer and whatever generation is after Zoomers.

they care about:
1: THEM not getting your data.. the Chinese are.
2: Not having control of the megaphone.

It should be obvious to anyone capable of using logic.

It has nothing to do with spying. It has everything to do with naming kikes. Your phone is a pocket spy. Your behavior is commoditized. Everything you fucking do is information that is sold in a marketplace. I can have a conversation about [whatever] while driving with someone else in the car, and within minutes I've got ads for [whatever] popping up on JewTube. You're already in the aquarium. Have you seen the way TikTok has changed society? It's some dystopian fucker's wet dream. The issue isn't the app, it's who controls what's visible on the app that's the problem.
