@great-big-stees saidNot even you Stees, one day time will be up for us all! We just don't know when and how. Covid-19 could still get a bunch of us!

@rookie54 saidNo worries big fella. Tiktoc is owned by byte dance, who also own douyin. The stock market buzz is on Microsoft buying Tiktoc. Not a fan of the tech bubble, but Microsoft might get a boost from this.
@huckleberryhound
thank you for the info
i've learned a few things today
@very-rusty saidEspecially young people. People with youthful idealistic ideas, like democracy and freedom. The Chinese government is keen to monitor such people.

I really don't care if China monitors me, I even have their popular phone. π Should I get rid of any adult pictures or is it already too late? π

@very-rusty saidThe real danger of apps which track people is 'guilt by association': these apps don't track just you, they track everyone they can connect you to by any means whatever. These apps vacuum up all the data from your contacts, address book, text messaging, social media, even your calendar appointments, etc., etc. And v.v. and there's the rub, you see: suppose, hypothetically, your 13-yr old niece sends you a text message ("Happy birthday, Uncle Rusty!" ), she is connected by TT to hundreds of chatters, who are themselves connected to thousands or tens of thousands of other chatters your niece never heard of. The tentacles of connections stretch unimaginably far, and you're in that nexus without knowing it. If ONE person in that entire web of connections turns out to be a 'person of interest' to the intelligence community, you are, too.

@great-big-stees saidNo don't have any, just wanted to see the comments I would get from it no bites! π
