The real threat of Chinese TikToc ...

[Zorro!]

For a guy with “Zorro!” as his pen-name, you sure ain’t very cool....
Have you ever used TikTok?
Know why it’s so dangerous? I mean except to Facebook profits?
Maybe you should wear a Trump cape and draw a “T” with your sword?


P.S.

I always thought Zorro was against helping rich thieves steal other people’s property...

Oh, the American People are "rich thieves that steal other people's property"?

Here is TikTok's home office

Like every Chinese Company they have members of the CCP on their board. Companies in China have no independence from the Lying Outlaw Slavers in Beijing. TikTok has no inherent right to operate in our county.

.... TikTok and the Chinese parent firm have a popular app that is no threat to anybody...

other than it's spying on it's users. It's bad enough that our own government and corporations spy on us, but the ChiComs? They can take a walk.

TikTok is spying on you via the clipboard, researchers warn iPhone users
Social media app monitors the universal clipboard and can use it to pinpoint location.

A user's precise location may be made available to an app if they simply copy and paste a photo.

Earlier this year, the same researchers found that TikTok was found to be copying clipboard data on Android devices

In truth, monitoring the clipboard is likely to be just one of many ways that TikTok is tracking users. In February, Reddit co-founder and CEO Steve Huffman branded the app "fundamentally parasitic", saying it uses "fingerprinting technology" that is "truly terrifying", and labelling TikTok as "spyware".

Zorro has never gone for crap like that.

... and lots of big U.S. companies think they can get their hands on it for pennies on the dollar...

Nobody is forcing them to sell, if they can't strike price, pack their crap up and go home.

But it looks like neither China nor the founder of the Chinese company is willing to go for this “unfriendly takeover” thievery.

Oh, so it's "Theft" but only if you want to make the exchange? Do you ever tire of "fun with words", like riots that are "peaceful protests"?

...“Beijing ... new regulations ... prohibit the export of certain artificial intelligence technologies that TikTok uses.”...

Fine, pack their crap up and go home, then. Let it be a lesson to other companies from the Lying Outlaw Slavers of Beijing, that if we catch them spying on the American People, their ass gets packed up and shipped home.

These bastards from China lie to us, steal from us, spy on us, loose pandemics on us, treat the world like it's their own personal toilet, engage in forced organ harvesting and are committing genocide against their Muslim minority population.

Zorro doesn't like these sonfabitches at all.

Now Taiwan? Now that's a hell of country. A good place to do business, first world ethics, a business partner worth having.

Grumpy old men with shrunken brains do that.

Loved that cool photo of ByteDance staffers In Beijing.
Wonder why they weren’t waving the American Flag?
Or the flag of Zorro?
Oh, it’s a Chinese Company! — Now I got it !

Too bad more than a thousand U.S. TicTok workers will lose their jobs.
Will Facebook put together a cheap “Made in America” substitute?
Will those 100+ million downloaded TicTok apps here all be useless?

Hey, I myself don’t buy any Chicom products.
I’m an old proud patriotic American.
I’m patriotic and believe anything our great President says.
Just too damn dumb for that high-tech commie shit!

My niece just told me TicTok seems American as “Apple Pie”!
How’s that? She brainwashed too? Goddamn public schooling!

Well I don’t rightly know. TicTok does got conspiracy theory videos on the platform and everything. Even Pizzagate and QAnon have hashtags reaching almost 80 million views and 50 million views respectively this June. The platform has also been used to spread misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic, such as clips from the Plandemic video.

Is repressing TicTok just a liberal Democratic Party conspiracy?
You think the snowflake “Daddy State” is telling us how to live again?
Really, maybe we Trumpsters should try using it ... ourselves?

Biden doesn't do much of anything and what if others are? Does that excuse Trump?

White House adviser Jared Kushner on Tuesday said the White House is reviewing Oracle’s bid ...

Trump had previously made clear he sought a full-scale sale of the app to an American technology company ... But Trump may not want to alienate 100 million-odd American TikTok users weeks before a hotly-contested presidential election.

Trump has also said he is a fan of Oracle’s co-founder and Chairman Larry Ellison, one of few tech executives to openly support the Republican President.

Meanwhile, China has updated its export control rules to give it a say over the transfer of technology, such as TikTok’s recommendation algorithm, to a foreign buyer....

Oracle announced on Monday it was part of a proposal submitted by Bytedance to the U.S. Treasury Department to serve as “trusted technology provider,” to Bytedance...

Senator Rubio urges Trump to scrap TikTok-Oracle deal if Bytedance ties remain

Here is a funny — but still serious — take on Trump’s flipflopping and personal vendetta against TikTok, written by a British journalist:

The battle over TikTok is all because the US finds the idea of a Chinese social media app gaining global acclaim as intolerable and a threat to its own monopolies in Silicon Valley.

Did I miss the announcement that The Apprentice has got a new episode out? You know, the one where Donald Trump shouts “You’re fired!” to TikTok’s owners in Beijing? Oh, wait, that’s not a reality TV show – it is reality. At least in his mind.

Were it not so serious, you would have to laugh at this week’s flip-flopping antics of the former TV show host turned president of the USA.

On Sunday, he stated he was giving his “blessing” to a deal between US giants Oracle and Walmart and ByteDance, TikTok’s Chinese owner. ‘TikTok-Oracle Deal Wins Trump’s Approval,’ read the headline on Bloomberg.

By Monday, he had made a U-turn, demanding that the Chinese firm cede control of its US operations completely, or he would ban the popular platform. ‘Trump Says ByteDance Can’t Keep Control of TikTok in Oracle Deal,’ said Bloomberg.

Initially, the deal reported by the media involved the two US companies taking a 20 percent stake in the creation of a new venture, TikTok Global, which would see its data managed by the American stakeholders. But now the White House has seemingly reverted to its old position of demanding that ByteDance, or as it puts it, “China,” cedes “complete control” of the application in the US, including the handover of its technology and algorithm. Under the headline ‘Say ‘No!’ to US robbery of Tik Tok,’ China’s Global Times stated the country will “not accept an unequal treaty that targets Chinese companies.”...

We’re no longer in the century of humiliation! Why China will not cave in to Trump’s state extortion over TikTok
