It isn't a bad post but in the wrong thread.

That is something you should have started a thread in Debates about.

GTFO???? Sorry, I don't know what you mean by that! 😉 😛

what is the French government's viewpoint?
what is the German government's viewpoint?

Appears like it belongs in Debate Forum to me! 😉

Another thread ruined by Rusty. Same old, same old.

GTFO sounds like good advice there, Rusty. If only you would.

I am a nice person and a pleasure to be around. Thank you for saying so.

And no, you would not be welcome in my home. I have young, impressionable dogs here who would not benefit from being exposed to your obvious nastiness, obviously.

And I don't do requests.

LOL.....Where did you see me ask about being invited into your home? I would sooner step in a cow paddy!

You have a mouth on you like a drunken sailor on a Saturday night at the bar, so you have no reason to call me nasty!

Thankful that you don't do requests.

You have a Wonderful evening, and a better tomorrow! 🙂

quote (excerpt):

TikTok, known for its quirky 15-second videos, has been illegally and secretly harvesting vast amounts of personally identifiable user data and sending it to China, according to a proposed class-action lawsuit filed in California federal court last week.

. . .

TikTok videos often include close-ups of people's faces, allowing the company to gather biometric data on its users, according to the lawsuit. Once a user shoots a video and clicks the "next" button, the videos are transferred to various domains without their knowledge. This happens before users even save or post a video on the app, the lawsuit states.

Hong [plaintiff] downloaded TikTok in March or April 2019 but never created an account, according to the lawsuit. Months later, she discovered TikTok made one for her. She created five or six videos using the app but never saved or published the videos. Still, TikTok secretly took the videos and her data without her knowledge and sent the information to servers in China, according to the lawsuit.

TikTok is gathering a trove of data about its users, including their phone and social network contacts, email addresses, IP address, location and other information, according to the lawsuit. The company allegedly uses different tactics to conceal that they're transferring user data. Even when a user closes the app, it still harvests biometric and user data, the lawsuit states.

Just what a surveillance state would want to know: are you now or have you ever been, or have you ever known anyone who ever was . . . at or near Tiananmen Square ?
