Listen, some of us still aren't over it on Pluto's behalf, okay? 😞 The nerd rage is real. #justiceforpluto

Is this WRT the classified documents? I’m having trouble keeping track of these investigations Yes. My cheat sheet is NY: hush money. GA: voting fraud. DC: Jan 6/classified documents. The ongoing crime exception to atty/client privilege related to him lying about turning over all classified documents. Thank you. This is what I thought, but I’m glad to see it concisely written confirming it.

I’m just going to jump in like I didn’t completely check out while my sister was here for the past few weeks. It was a LONG 3 years and I wanted every single minute. The past few weeks have been one giant filibuster, lead by some amazing senators. While the conservative majority have been trying to ignoring being called out for legislating and prioritizing hate bills. Now that some of those who realize how terrible bill the anti-trans bill is, they want to amend it. So now they are stuck with evil or nothing. They were clearly and directly warned, they did not take heed. Thank you for sharing.

Honestly so far the bulk of this hearing has been criticisms that apply to all social media platforms.
The chair and ranking member asked a lot of important security questions bit so luch of this is Facebook hearing v2.0

Re: TikTok - none here at my house. They spread across other platforms enough that I'm okay with it, along with security issues and time suck. 🤣 I have timers on my SM apps, I don't need to add another. Plus I'm going to try and keep the littles off as long as possible so not being on it myself helps the cause.

This might sound stupid Besides it being owned by a Chinese company- how is TikTok more of a security threat than other social media app? Like if you have all your settings turned off so things can’t sync are they still getting personal data?

I wish that the local FB groups I am a part of could move somewhere else. They have been immeasurably helpful for me in a variety of ways depending on the topic of the group. I don't use FB for anything else but my groups. If I could deactivate but still get access to those, I'd be happy.
I think one of the biggest sticking points to me is that Meta does get our data, yes and their data mining is more passive whereas TT is actively stealing information from your phone by a foreign nation that is hellbent on fucking around with us. I don't love that Meta has all this access to our data but I feel more or less "meh" to the idea of my government knowing shit about me at this point because I feel it is a foregone conclusion and it is naive to think that if you own a smartphone, you can somehow avoid it. I think the motivations behind TT are what cause the security concerns to be higher.
I tried asking my H to explain the distinction between Meta and TT and if TT is being a scapegoat and he started speaking in another language so I gave up. I trust his opinion on this though. I don't think TT is a scapegoat for the sake of being a scapegoat here.

I find it interesting the worry about tik tok and national security concerns. data about our govt but its thru individuals phones tracking info getting to the Chinese govt.
Put on tin foil hat for a moment. you are worried about a company giving info to china about us citizens, business or govt.
Similar worries were brought up about Broadcom- it was blocked by Trump from acquiring Qualcomm because of national security concerns due to Broadcom's close ties with China.
Broadcom moved its headquarters from Singapore to the US to avoid some of the criticism. Did they sever all ties to Chinese govt?
They pivoted from expanding their chip portfolio to instead buying software companies. They are a "US" company and they own VM ware, Symantec, and CA Inc.
CA Inc software is mainframe computing software and runs on almost all of our govt and infrastructure mainframes including military.
So was Broadcom a natl security risk in march 2018 due to ties to China? But not a natl security risk in Nov 2018 when it bought the CA inc software that runs our govt computers and is still maintains/updates/upgrades?
Or was the March 2018 worry motivated by us company competitiveness?
So is tik tok worry national security? Tracking of us citizens as a whole is done by all the sm companies. Maybe tik tok is best at it.
Maybe the worry is that our us sm companies can't compete?
Probably tik tok nor facebook, sm etc should not be on govt employee phones if they are high level or military or similar?

Not that I'd want it to happen, but I'd be shocked if Meta didn't have a knock off TT waiting in the wings in case it does get banned.

I thought that's what reels were I don't TikTok/reels/stories/what have yous. I'm basically an old personal yelling get off my lawn from FB and IG. I just figured they'd morph whatever it is they do, reels or whatever, into a free standing app.

Socials, DOB, decades' worth of previous addresses, credit information, health insurance, everything. So it was convenient to look the other way on the security concerns because I already felt so exposed between that and I do not fucking trust Meta as far as I could throw the entirety of their staff. So it kind of became, "I'm kidding myself if I think I have any privacy anyway, and Iverson been in my house for a year, so let's learn how to bake sourdough" Again, in no way condoning that approach.

I thought that's what reels were The simplest way to respond to this I think is that Reels : tiktok :: blackberry: smart phone Eta: amd that's not me picking on you, I don't IG so I haven't dealt with reels, I just know that people complain about Reels sucking

Oh I definitely don't think competition among SM platforms is the main concern here at all. A foreign adversary having the full attention of literally half the US population on a routine basis and not having read in on how their algorithm operates or what they do with the data they collect is an entirely valid reason to haul people before Congress.

My H works in cybersecurity and he explained the concerns well to me and then my foggy, autoimmune addled brain I forgot 90% of it all. But similar, I trust him. And I know I should delete TT. Haven’t yet though….I keep telling myself I will soon. I use it so less frequently than anything else but every once in a while I just want cute, SHORT, videos to scroll through
