China gets every metric possible from every single device in the world that uses tik tok. If you don’t think so… Pull your head out of your ass.
Pull your head out of your ass.
But that’s where my phone is.
Didn’t they explicitly say a while ago that they didn’t do this?
Do you really think someone would do that?
If a company is doing that though that seems like it could be quite a major issue though
It’s not a company.
It’s a CCP company.
Same rules do not apply.
It’s exactly the same as facebook but “big scary Gyna and ce ce pee”
As clever as you think you’re being, it is an important difference.
Mostly because in the US you can choose not to use it, in china choosing not to use it affects your social credit score, and whether you can buy a house or ride the bus.
Slight difference in potential consequences for benign behavior.

Do you have any source that says that using TikTok is mandatory in China, or that not using it does what you’re asserting?
The social credit score is mandatory, and what you watch on it is absolutely used to adjust your credit score.
So no, i don’t have a direct source that says “you must use this app or your credit score goes down”, i have a reasonable informed idea that it probably does, based on china’s current treatment of it’s citizens.
Why, do you happen to a single or any even tangentially related source pretending it doesn’t?
