so, the obvious reasons amerikkka wants tiktok gone aside, we’ve got

• internet-enabled doorbell cameras in our neighborhoods, provided by a corporation with a long track record of privacy scandals and abuse
• a corporation (for whom many employers expect you to use their platform) that has openly experimented on its users, facilitated a genocide, and rats out victims of this country’s oppression to the authorities

and i’m actually supposed to be worried about fucking tiktok of all things? i don’t have to install tiktok; it’s certainly a hell of a lot easier to avoid than the above, and that shit barely scratches the surface. americans fall into a xenophobic panic over being spied on by gasp foreigners, all the while a techno-dystopia is being openly built all around us.
