Oh cool! Now the govt can create data collection regulations and ban TikTok if an investigation shows they are in violation of those laws! Oh yeah, I forgot it is just foreign adversaries potentially collecting US data that is the problem. Thank goodness they are strong arming TikTok into selling itself to a pre-existing media company instead!
Yes. I got mine on 🤡.
From the article, the data collection hinges on a bot going into a public server then scraping the history. Still a problem that Discord should act on, but it looks like there is no need to worry about private servers.
Who left the cat in the bath that long?

Which forces Tiktok to sell or be banned, correct? The issue I see is: why not just create regulation for the root problems instead of just focusing on that app? The only reason I can see, is that their priorities do not lay with protecting people, but forcing a foreign business to sell it’s IP to strictly American companies. Wether that decision has to do with the intentional or unintentional promotion of the US’s direct involvement in the genocide in Gaza or just Big social media companies lobbying for the removal of a competitor, we can only speculate. Both sides are doing their best to push this bill, when have the ®s collectively banded together to create positive change? The point being, reading the bill is cool and all, but you do have to ask, “Why target a specific company instead of the alleged problems of foreign adversaries getting their hands on our data?” If we had hard data collection and selling regulations, it would not only allow them to ban predatory apps (foreign or domestic) but also ensure sensitive data cannot even reach our enemy’s hands.
What are your sources saying the reasoning for the bill is?
So they are going to put in place some hard data collection and selling regulation, right? Right?
I can’t wait for people to start inserting disruptive code using white colored text in their resumes.
Misspelling of “pigs”.
I am extremely tempted to @ some guy who was shilling for nvidia and saying they weren’t a monopoly.
It will kill industries temporarily, until the corpos realize their success came from the artists.
Rip, god damn it, Tumblr.
Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the extra info!
I think it does. I was able to check the opt out setting from the app and it was already on. I don’t remember turning it on, so it might be default? I did update the app prior, so you might need to do that first.
I mean, I’ll take that as a good point in Tumblr’s favor.
I can toggle the opt-out setting from the app, I think it is default to opt-out? Can someone check what their default is? It is down the visibility setting.
Edit: Just remembered that I did update the app today, so you might need to do that first.
