The things the CCP could do with political blackmail gathered from tiktok would make even Zuck blush.

At the very least, Google and Facebook have to step back if caught. Meanwhile, Chinese companies often don't care about EU privacy laws. Still avoid them altogether, any way.

Do they? They've been caught BIG TIME, and META stock price is at an ATH!

Living like a street criminal for a decade sure puts international politics in perspective, because you can just see straight through the bullshit. It's just bigger numbers, but the principles and human behavior stays 100% the same.

Meta was sued in India, Brazil, the UK, and the USA for the way they sold data in the 2010s, being fined Billions of dollars total. In July 2019 they were fined 5 Billion in a 3 to 2 vote by the FTC and they're in the process of a 20 year settlement plan.

Meta also has a proposed trial date for December against the FTC and 46 states after their supposedly unlawful and aggressive mergers to acquire WhatsApp and Instagram, called Federal Trade Commission v. Meta Platforms, Inc. (formerly Federal Trade Commission v. Facebook, Inc.). The Mergers are why their evaluation keeps rising.

I bet from reading message history they have tons of SSNs and bank details. Probably even information about our military.

I'm honestly more worried about them knowing details on politicians and their families. The most they can do with some rando's personal info is send them targeted propaganda. Knowing a handful of republican congressmen has lgbq relatives can be used to make them to shift policies.

As much as China is a festering cancer upon the world, I am willing to bet that for every single trademark horror that is taking place in their society, I could find a match or worse in the USA.

or worse in the USA.

An estimated 30 to 45 million Chinese citizens died during Mao's "Great Leap Forward."

My penis is longer than yours.

What are we doing, just stating random facts?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Not so random. Lay off the whataboutism.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

What's relevant about that statement? Or we could talk about the slave trade?

Did you just whatabout my penis?
