Upcoming TikTok Ban

[GURPS]

As I understand it simply viewing those allows for the collection of data. I don't know if it is true or not, but I have read that some data is being collected from non-user viewers.

OK I am Only GUESSING HERE ... but TT is not going to get any more than your web browser leaks EVERYWHERE ELSE

If you don't know what data is being collected how can you say it isn't "anything of value"?

Because we don't have anything of value. Except for my brilliant observations, that is.

Besides, my initial reply was directed at your statement "I have never used Tik Tok one single time." Viewing is using, right?

Scrolling past an autoplay video isn't "using". So I stand by my statement.

This is why the U.S. is banning TikTok or anything from China.

Just simple chats with average Chinese people on Xiaohongshu (RedNote) made numerous people in the U.S. aware of how toxic their system is.
