Windows machines have default antivirus. I would not expect disabling push notifications to be a basic security measure. Pretty much everyone has push notifications, including the target audience. A lot of them also don’t take a device-wide VPN because they expect only websites to track them.

Attachment downloads by default in each app

The user profile picture is not an attachment.

Does everyone have access to tracking which stations send the phone signal in the SS7 network?

GeoGuesser, powered by the Google Maps API, generates a likely location of the user. It finds the midpoint between the 2 datacenters and draws 2 circles that signify his radius.

Cloudflare has more servers in Europe than in North America. That does trace you to which country, which IMO is pretty significant. Especially with the GeoGuesser “average the circles” thing he coded.

Why is all of this not a single app?

Because they have very different functions though all associated with the government. It’s just better to separate apps with different functions.

Thanks for the explanation.

It also prohibits " Providing internet hosting services to enable the distribution, maintenance, or updating of such foreign adversary controlled application for users within the land or maritime borders of the United States." I’d say “maintenance” includes the hosting of new content.

In Congress, during a private session, intelligence on their spying was presented.

The video’s watermarks clearly indicate that it’s a leak.

This is a troll. Nobody truly with that view would copy paste to all the search results instead of just the official app.

is this true

There’s a ton of domestic TikTok clones already, like Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.

otherwise the addicts will jump to yet another Chinese platform.

They already have.

X is Musk, which is TL;DR quite different

it doesn’t censor news with class consciousness like Meta does

Maybe? But they do manually tell the algorithm to heavily favor the elite’s videos with their “heating” tool.

Don’t they do the same things? In fact TikTok spies more stuff, but they just don’t sell it to private entities as much.

“I would rather stare at a language I can’t understand than to ever use a social media [platform] that Mark Zuckerberg owns,” said one user in a video posted to Xiaohongshu on Sunday.

but uh, why tf did they use tiktok in the first place
