avatar! | 2,078 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) Without doubt TikTok can and does steal data and sends it over to China. I don't know why anyone doubts this. https://www.wsj.com/articles/tiktok-user-data-what-does-the-app-collect-and-why-are-u-s-authorities-concerned-11594157084 Edited August 1, 2020 by avatar! 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/4687-trump-wants-to-ban-tiktok/#findComment-107357 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Man | 14 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) I wish all of this social media crap would be banned world wide. People are getting dumber and dumber because of this. Or without that, we just didn't see it. I don't know. Either way, I'm for a ban for it.

Strange | 1,759 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 If it was the data collection Trump and co. were worried about, they would have allowed it to be sold to an American company, which was brought up as a solution but they disallowed it. No, they don’t like it because it allows young people to create and share a lot of anti-Trump content. And also because TikTok fucked over his Tulsa rally. 2 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/4687-trump-wants-to-ban-tiktok/#findComment-107389 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a real case to be made for social media helping the spread of fake news to sway elections though. Facebook’s platform had a role in Trump getting elected in the first place. 2 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/4687-trump-wants-to-ban-tiktok/#findComment-107392 Share on other sites More sharing options...
