somehow I trust bytwdance a lot more than trump backed companies…
moot point though, cause I’m never on tiktok
Blocked that shit on our household devices (and all our visitors and guest’s devices).
Wonder how it would be if they implement it in their database systems. Queries would no longer return data you want, but instead return data you might like to see.
With Twitter going down, TT was my next best option for finding niche artiste and fandoms. My algorithm on there was really good with showing me new artists and fandom creators to follow. Idk where I’m gonna go now.
“Secured” by Oracle.
Nice. Another racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic anti-American platform.
You can just say “American platform”.
The point of this is specifically to silence those talking about Palestinian genocide.
Ding ding ding. Anyone who’s been paying attention since the beginning should know this.
Oracle will be handling TikTok’s algorithm? Okay, so TikTok’s back-end workflow/decisioning engine will rapidly bloat up and will need to be completely replaced every two years. Got it.
So you’ll need to be licensed for each core on you phone that could run tiktok?
Oracle will operate in partnership with the US government on everything from algorithm retraining to application development and source code review, the White House official said. It wasn’t immediately clear what role the government might have in oversight of the app, its algorithm and user data.
every article just glosses over the fact a major platform that people use to get/share information (with also a lot of personal data collected) is about to be controlled by the US government and a few of the president’s friends. No one is talking about how bad this will be its just "china bad’.
I only had an account to watch people livestreams concerts, protests, etc… Imagine the amount of suppression and propaganda if something like the L.A riots/free palestine movement happen again but the government controls what you see.
There are no protests in LA, and we have always been at war with Eastasia.
It’s just Dodger’s fans [pissed|happy] about the big [win|loss].
I agree and even though users should be concerned I think a large amount of people using that platform already don’t care where their data goes, how it’s used or what harmful algorithms can do to a person.
yeah which is sad really, the mainstream has unfortunately given up about it. The few of us who do are screaming into a void, it would take something apocalyptic. Thought the cambridge analytical thing and the election would make people see but money talks i guess.
Closed beta :-\
Also closed source
They went open-source a week ago!

I can’t believe oracle is still such a behemoth. I thought they dissappeared in the 2010s, but they’ve been steaming ahead doing evil things with shit tons of money this whole time.
It’s the same reason IBM still exists. Massive multinational / government contracts keep them alive and healthy.
And Microsoft. Ain’t nobody buying SharePoint because it’s good.
So does this affect only US Tiktok users or is it the whole global Tiktok outside of China that will be sucked up by US?
That’s crazy, now instead of staying the fuck away from a shitty Chinese social media I’ll stay the fuck away from a shitty US social media.
They’re going to push right-wing content.
That’s already started after they installed that IDF cunt as hate speech manager. Nearly everyone of my proPalestinian /anti Israel TTs have been muted as ‘unauthorized sound.’
