Some ex-TikTok employees say the social media service worked closely with its China-based parent despite claims of independence
Some ex-TikTok employees say the social media service worked closely with its China-based parent despite claims of independence
The allegations come as TikTok and its owner, ByteDance, try to fend off legislation aimed at forcing a sale.
Former TikTok senior data scientist:
“I literally worked on a project that gave U.S. data to China”
“They were completely complicit in that. There were Americans that were working in upper management that were completely complicit in this.”

No one is fighting for tiktok thinking it didn't share info with China. The problem is China can just buy our data from a number of data brokers. Every social media, shopping, and US website collects your info to be sold. That's the problem. The singled out tiktok bc China was collecting it free and people are learning how corrupt our US government is.
It’s more than “your data”, it’s the use of the platform to amplify/disseminate propaganda.
Welcome to every social media platform out there. Meta has done experiments on teens and helped genocides. Twitter/X is filled with Nazis and white nationalist. Truth social.... enough said. Reddit had women abusive subreddits and child porn leaks. Those are a few examples of other platforms.
That is the problem, all of them are the same and should be under heavy regulation since they give access to children and our data. Twitter providing the Saudi government with users tweets which ends with them being arrested seems like a "your data" issue.
I mean Christ even niche chan boards were heavily targeted by the alt right turning frothing shit cauldrons into .... more frothy racist shit cauldrons?
Shit, I forgot the chan boards. They had literally child p*rn and it took forever to banned.
