So, India has banned tik tok.
Probably got nothing to do with the skirmish in the mountains...
Pompeo (the US) has said they’re looking into banning tik tok.
Probably got nothing to do with K-pop fans using it to blast trump and the alt-right with it (and since it’s foreign, it’s an easier target than twitter and facebook).
Anyhoo... the arguments being given are: the Chinese are using it to collect personal data!
Oh yes.
Tik tok has denied the Chinese government has ever asked them for information.
And I think this is probably true.
Why?
Is anyone on tiktok?
My daughter is. Now, what sort of information does the Chinese government want from my daughter?
Her name... it’s a handle, not her name.
Hundreds of films she’s made about Sailor Moon doing a dance dressed like a unicorn?
Or something... I don’t even pretend to understand weebness, anime or the erratic spasms they call dancing..
I think the issue with tiktok has far less to do with data collection, but more about politics.
What do you reckon?
