Well, people are moving from what they see as an innocent funny video app to a much more obvious chinese controlled app in protest. Basically trying to call out the hypocrisy of the government banning tiktok when all these other apps exist.
Most people do not realize how much info tiktok gathered from you and which shady state governments it filtered into.
It's funny though because the tiktok ban doesn't target tiktok, it targets any foreign controlled app above a certain number of users. So as soon as red note gains a bunch of users it will be killed as hard as tiktok.
That's of course unless both governments don't enforce the law, like they both have said they aren't going to do.
Everyone that moved to rednote absolutely knows their data was scrapped by Tiktok, including contacts and general behavior on their phone.
We're 30 years past that mattering. Everyone corporations and thus every government with money knows what you masturbate to and what makes you laugh. They all know where you work and what your net worth is. If they don't it takes less than a dollar to find out through your advertising id report.
None of the major data brokers refuse to sell to specific governments.
Yeah and i love laughing at those people cry about it going away like bye
I'll stick to my FLOSS stuff like I've been doing since 2017. Fuck off corpos
That's nice that you enjoy a much less expansive library of entertainment and practically no social interaction. Most people think that's too large of a tradeoff in a world where corpos have all the information about you from birth.
Hope you trust your VPN provider, that's the most common single point of failure given your ISP is collecting and selling all of your data.
I've been satisfied with IRC, that was social enough for me as an autistic kid yes. I've not had the luxury of developing a high standard of social interaction for my daily life.
I understand normal people are not willing to give up those unnecessary things like centralized and profiteered software. I think it's hilarious and laugh at them:) I enjoy the 3 or so friends I text regularly and the people I meet in real life. I understand most people aren't willing to live within those means, but that doesn't make it any less funny.
