Most annericans aren’t ready for that conversation. That’s why Trump won in the first place.

They will probably ban the app or make in unavailable in other countries. Typical censorship stuff

Sounds like a problem for the TRILLION dollar military industrial complex. I’m sure they can spare a few bucks to solve that issue.

Rednote is very cool. Very nice people and no ads. It’s almost weird that I haven’t seen any ads, even for Chinese products.

Starting to notice all these American apps are full of trolls, racists, and ads. So many people parroting shit they read on Faux News about China bad and about safeguarding their data. There is no threat.

The oligarchy is the same in China and the US. Corporate powers and billionaires running everything. The moment we as people realize that borders are made up and governments are meant to divide us the better we’ll be as a planet. Might even learn something from each other.

Anecdotally my daughter is learning mandarin in school and I’m taking this opportunity to learn some and bond with her over it. Very cool.

Insane to me that people can be this xenophobic. Wholesome Chinese people? No internet troll farm.

Congratulations you’ve been successfully brainwashed by Fox News. I’m not even going to address everything wrong with your comment. May God have mercy on your soul.

This is so funny because it’s suppose to sound scary but no one actually gives a fuck.

You are just parroting shit you read on the internet and I feel bad for you. You literally have no idea how fucked we all are in terms of our data being stolen. I guess you want to be the one who determine who fucks you. Well TikTok users are doing the same

You are essentially virtue signaling that you are so much more security minded than everyone because you “safeguard your data”. I’m sorry to burst your bubble but our oligarch owns our data and is selling it to the highest bidder. The fact that you own a phone/computer means your data has already been bought and sold.

That is a terrible mentality that is essentially “your generation bad, my generation better”.

People have been saying the same thing about any new technology. They said it about phones, they said it about tv, they’ll say it about literally anything. To boil down a generations problems to an app is ridiculous.

I can’t imagine anyone using a VPN just for TikTok. Not to mention free vpns are garbage and don’t work well.

I’m kind of surprised by the response in the comments. Generally I think Lemmy is anti Tik Tok and I don’t understand why. You don’t have to like the shit but why do people have to be so negative about what other people do with their free time?

I think people here are just trying to be edgy and hate tik tok because it’s popular.

Why? Cuz Chinese bad? Stolen data bad? I think you don’t understand that there is no safe data. It doesn’t matter who is taking it but your data is owned by someone. If not the Chinese it’s the US government. If not them then you’re phone provider. If you purchase ANYTHING, that store is collecting your data.

The app will stop working in the US. Doesn’t matter where you get it from.

The lgbtq community voted for Trump so imo they are getting their just desserts.

If a sperm is a baby and an egg is a baby, when they merge does a child die?

Just another reason the US sucks.
