Bad that a China datamining app is dead?

No. It's more likely the opposite (it's good).

I still don't get what the big deal over Chinese datamining is

Facebook and Twitter do the same thing

Is it just bad because we're all supposed to hate China?

Facebook and Twitter aren't a country that can essentially kidnap you just for entering.

Or are we going to forget that supporting Hong Kong/democracy in China is now illegal world-wide in China even if you aren't a citizen.

Yeah their arguements over Chinese data mining sound so weak to me. I have yet to hear a real compelling reason why it's so bad China gets some most likely worthless data.

So if I don't ever plan on traveling to China, what risks are there if they datamine my information?

Genuinely curious. I remember that FaceApp one a year ago that apparently was owned by Russians and had access to everyone's photos and could use them for advertising and shit, which I could understand some people freaking out over but if it's not fucking up my finances or health then I don't really mind

Like can China keylog my phone through TikTok to sign into my bank accounts and drain my savings?

Those users on Grindr probably aren't too happy that China data mined their information. China could essentially blackmail users by threatening to out them if they don't do what they're told.

That reddit thread of the guy who 'reverse engineered' the app seems a little fishy. There's absolutely no proof of his claims and he says his computer shit on itself and he can't provide proof as he is trying to recover the info for... months now? lol please.

Google should definitely restrict app developers from requiring outrageous permissions though.

Even if Tiktok is just a normal busineses trying to expand and completley unaffiliated with the CCP..... China has had no problem banning hundreds of our companys and IP stealing us while they had free reign on our markets for decades now.

And if they want to play this game then them and their shills shouldnt get butthurt when the US and numerous other countries starts playing it as well.

Do these apps have access to ALL the photos in a users photo library, or just ones that they upload to the app?

Lets be real here guys. America doing it is bad. But china doing it is far worse for obvious reasons. Neither should do it but america is the lesser of the two evils by a signifigant margin

I imagine it's trending from a bunch of 30 year olds who don't use it anyway and only see it from the examples others shove in their face?

Like me, except I know how to mind my own business and not shit on other peoples version of fun. At first I did, until I realized I was just being a grumpy old man shaking my fist.
