Former TikTok senior data scientist:

“I literally worked on a project that gave U.S. data to China”

“They were completely complicit in that. There were Americans that were working in upper management that were completely complicit in this.”

It’s more than “your data”, it’s the use of the platform to amplify/disseminate propaganda.

Welcome to every social media platform out there. Meta has done experiments on teens and helped genocides. Twitter/X is filled with Nazis and white nationalist. Truth social.... enough said. Reddit had women abusive subreddits and child porn leaks. Those are a few examples of other platforms.

That is the problem, all of them are the same and should be under heavy regulation since they give access to children and our data. Twitter providing the Saudi government with users tweets which ends with them being arrested seems like a "your data" issue.
