        Simple. We choose to give our data to another country instead of companies that sell our data without us knowing. Also in Little red book. You see it tells the users to be cautious where they share their facial data and that it’s not needed to use the app?

          You’re not making a lot of sense… It also seems that you’re under the impression that tiktok doesn’t sell data and ad profiles like all other social media networks?

            Also tell me what’s not already online somewhere??? Location, Phone Number, Favourite things all already shared because we agreed! Also honestly I doubt any negative would happen with any data unless someone was against the Chinese government, was extremely rude to the natives of the app or else wise. Which to me seems incredibly fair.

                Ohhh boy? Can we try and keep the conversation flowing and meaningful whether disagreeing or else wise. Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying China or any other countries are perfect but of what I’ve seen. They aren’t the enemies the west portrays them to be. Including in my case I am the pupil of Meng Tian’s History. Further innovative and meaningful change.

                  “I am the pupil of Meng Tian’s History. Further innovate and meaningful change.”

                  Yes. Very “we” and very “us”, exact sentiment and phrase choices. It’s exactly like I’m speaking to an exact, accurate American person, just like me.

                  Sorry to inform, but you’re not doing great at the whole undercover thing here… I hope your supervisor doesn’t review this specific thread to evaluate your ability. Not really hitting the mark here… fellow American, typing on a Canadian keyboard.

                  With such accurate and compelling work though, you could probably write copy for product packaging in Chinese manufacturing facilities exporting low prices goods to the US? Or maybe you could design those t-shirts Chinese teens will wear with American phrases, that don’t quite pass the test - Further innovative!!!

                    I have no supervisor for one and secondly I barely know any mandarin. I am looking to learn after getting on Little Red Book but only know a few words now. Can I ask you to clarify why having a different typing and phrasing choices make me non American. Including I’m southern 😆

                    Also are you deflecting trying to discredit who am due to not agreeing with my statement. Also I will admit how I speak is drastically different and my grammar may not be the best but that doesn’t make me any less American. Not like I want to be American as currently, America’s trajectory seems to be off target for bettering societal evolution but that is not why we are here discussing. Can I ask either answer the questions above or actually engage with my earlier comments. I have spoken. Either way you comply and add to a conversation meaningful or forever hold your peace.

                    PS I’d love to visit China honestly sometime the videos on Little Red Book are so beautiful but upcoming my nomadic life style will start. Also I would have no supervisor. In this case I would only ally and be hired under a vision not a military.

            Can I ask why are you going after little red book compared to other companies. Like while yes they may mine phone numbers but many many other platforms do it. Though Little Red Book encourages people not to share facial recognition data and you don’t need to, to use their app. They aren’t perfect and no app is but I feel much more inclined to use their app when there’s even a slight warning about sharing certain data compared to others that don’t care.

            No trust me I know TikTok did and how am I not making sense. It’s simple. We choose to go to a literal Chinese app due to our governments decision? How can I make that anymore clear? We chose to give our data to another country? You seem to be hard of reading or thinking there’s some meaning in my text that there’s not, what are you assuming?

              Through your odd syntax at times and non-US spellings of common words, seems likely that you aren’t actually from the United States - the US being the place where this farce was perpetrated - yet you speak with an “us” and a “we”… It’s strange.

              Anyway, these are a few odd bits of info that seem to inform you as an unreliable source in this discussion. Are you trying to sow discord from afar, you silly little scamp?

                I use a Canadian keyboard because it’s easier 😆 but I live in the US just under the great lakes. EST time. Though believe that if you wish. I am influenced by many cultures around the world from Norse, Chinese and more!

        I think it’s a valid point that the concern being raised about tik tok is just as valid with other apps, both from Facebook or Twitter etc and from overseas apps. People are happily giving up their data and don’t see a distinction in how it is being used for disinformation by different state actors. It’s all misinformation.

        People are apathetic to the risk, but also don’t see the risk for foreign government snooping as significantly higher than internal snooping.

          Many people also don’t consider the willingness and commitment to giving China data now. I mean if Facebook, Twitter and else wise. Is scanning our wifi to see what is connected to it and what we have access to. Why not go ahead and give our data to a country they’ll sell the data to.
