Casey NewtonWowww: ByteDance employees used TikTok data to try to find reporters' sources. Really, really bad stuff https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/22/technology/byte-dance-tik-tok-internal-investigation.html

Abe Hassan@caseynewton this story is what the Twitter Files wish they were
Jim Rutt@caseynewton for many reasons TikTok should be shutdown. This is a convenient excuse.
Justin@caseynewton - y’all —— we knew this?
Right? Of course we knew they were doing this. Why would they not do this.
But we loved the airfrier videos, and the dog videos, and the dances!

Sonu@caseynewton I do wonder how reporters reach out to their sources through TikTok. I associate the platform with dancing videos.
Howard Cheng@caseynewton @jeff All the more reason to NOT use TikTok, to be honest. I really don't want my information being siphoned off to the Chinese Government. Let's just say they're probably not my biggest fan LOL.
Eshwar Nag@caseynewton this doesn’t sound good.
Sedai@caseynewton While it's obviously the right thing to do, I'm surprised they admitted that it happened. Though more transparency of the actual information and who was affected would be nice.

GenX@caseynewton insert shocked meme
jack the nonabrasive@caseynewton I will remind folks this isn’t about China, it’s about large, unregulated, opaque platforms with no oversight or user recourse to private right of action. https://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2014/10/03/god-view-uber-allegedly-stalked-users-for-party-goers-viewing-pleasure/
Quinn Norton@caseynewton yeah you’re only supposed to be able to do this by paying data brokers and telecom companies for data access!

mikesten@caseynewton Reminds me of Uber's God View stalking revelations from years ago. 😶

As one person who has gotten to know parts of the CCP’s history which they hide from all Chinese people, I don’t use any social platforms or websites some companies developed CCP controls.
Because I know CCP is as evil & cruel as terrorism.
CCP should be treated as a regime sponsor of terrorism.

Sue B.@caseynewton Thank God I was able to delete my TikTok account.
🌲🧿 "Max"t💽d🏵️n 🔎🍄@caseynewton Coming soon to Twitter...
Emma Builds 🚀Turns out the costs of a centralized platform for dumb asses to pursue "fame", "clout", and "clicks" are rather high.
Ed Desautels@caseynewton Can you imagine telling your parents you work for a company called “Tik Tok” or “Byte Dance?” Yet, presumably, people have.
Voron@caseynewton 🤔 how many people Trust Twitter not to use journalists data to punish or sabotage journalists that the owner/company doesn’t like?
