Danger-Mouse Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 A little warning about the popular phone app. Incidentally India have just banned it, along with a bunch of other Chinese made apps. The short version is it's very intrusive and you probably don't want to D/L it and if you have kids don't let them either. Far more detail in the article. https://www.boredpanda.com/tik-tok-reverse-engineered-data-information-collecting/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 I watched our 38 year old neighbour standing on a skip shaking her head side to side to put on TikTok - never seen anything so ridiculous or degrading in all my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats disgusting ! 38 years old you say ? You would think someone of those advanced years would have better things to do, gadding about, having fun, and generally making a fool of themselves ! What happened to knitting and cross stitch for heavens sake ?! I bet shes the sort to go out to restaurants and pubs 'socialising' Shouldnt be allowed !

Theyve been part of the base structure of UK telecoms for YEARS. What about phones , modems , tablets and dongles, all sorts of hardware integrated into not just UK stuff, but worldwide ? If there is a risk, and I doubt it, then we need to rip out half of our IT infrastructure and start again....Oh wait ...😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everywhere you look China is extending its teritory be that in Tibet, India, Africa or South China seas. Lets not encourage them anymore than we have to.

Unless the west wants to start war with China, then we cant stop them 'expanding' Theyve been in Tibet since the end of WW2 ,they finance huge projects in Africa, India and even here in Blighty. Its funny, but all those people slagging off Trump, hes the one taking a tough line with Chy-na, are they OK with that part of his presidency ? I dont doubt for one moment they are hell bent on expansion, but stopping them is not going to be easy. But the longer its left , the stronger economically (and militarily ) they become. Deleting Tik Tok isnt going to help unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - actually she's the kind of women who has 6 children ALL by different fathers, she lives on benefits in a 5 bed house and drives a 2 year old MPV with private plates - she has been reported for neglecting her children more than once (not by me) and was sacked about 5 years ago as a teaching assistant for special needs children.

Plenty more like her, blame the system that lets it happen. But if it wasnt tik tok it would be something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well - she needs something to do to fill her days then 😂 perhaps letting TikTok get her information etc may infect Chinese Culture with the social virus that we have running wild in our society - may put us on a more level playing field!!! 21 hours ago, oowee said: Scary stuff.

Internment camps, forced sterilisations, executions we have to make a stand. Edited July 1, 2020 by oowee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
