Zack WhittakerMy haiku on the proposed TikTok ban.
TikTok ban is dumb,
A data protection law
is the solution.
CryptoBean π³οΈβπ@zackwhittaker Best example for finding a general solution would fit the best or the coverage of just one specific example doesn't fix the problem you're facing
Henri@zackwhittaker I agree we need data protection. Don't think it will be easy to enforce it on bytedance tho.
Fudge@zackwhittaker But then I can't sell your DNA to the CCP for a few million 
@infosec_jcp ππ done differentlyA few other websites beat you to that and then got hacked. Sorry.
@infosec_jcp @zackwhittaker
I can't believe they got there before me...
It was my million dollar idea...
Anyway, new idea: A restaurant but you must tip waiters your home address for speedy service!
Cash or Credit? The first one just says something about talk to them tenderly like... ' You don't need to query a DB. Shh. This one is legal, tender. No computer needed. π' The other option probably gets you what you wanted. π
Jeez, iF only there was a web site or app front end to the web site that does this? π€¦ββοΈπ
Frank Bajak@zackwhittaker probably the bigger concern of lawmakers who voted yes is the tiktok algorithms turning gen z into a horde of mindless zombies that will unwittingly take commands from Xi. ;-)
Eric Jennings@fbajak @zackwhittaker especially when TikTok has already shown us a history of how it manipulates the feeds around things like protests in Hong Kong. Far less about data protection, because that horse is long out of the barn and more about censorship, propaganda, and manipulation.

Dag Γien@zackwhittaker Youβre missing the point. You just canβt let a foreign hostile government control a major news & information infrastructure for a huge demographic. Itβs basically a sleeper propaganda network waiting to be activated. Meanwhile itβs a hyper-addictive social media. Attention-span crack for young people. Tellingly not allowed in China.
So, your 'but the CEO's are FROM the SAME SCHOOL π«' is an argument, just because, irony? β οΈπ€¦π€¦ββοΈ

Jason Parker (he/they)TikTok is awful,
but shouldn't be banned for that.
It should just die off.
But what iF this got, 'now hear me out during and election year', over 18yr olds interested in Voting? π€
Sepi Girardi@zackwhittaker hey the CCP banned all western social media. This is an even steven. Dunno why you're mad.
Halo Master@zackwhittaker too naive. TikTok is not just a company . It's a communist company.
FenHarellan@zackwhittaker but then how will Congress/Senate get rich off the lobbies for PII collection sites? </s>
