Speaking about data privacy.....
Google: I'm out
Facebook: I'm out
Twitter: I'm out
China: I'm out
The internet: I'm out
Well frankly speaking, no one cares about data privacy. The threat actually it posses is that CCP passed a law under which every company headquartered in China need to share the data when asked by government. Another law under which anyone who speaks against china is a nation traitor ans should be punished even if the person is foreigner. The question is how CCP will know that someone outside of China is speaking against the CCP ?? You know the answer.
China: I'll take it
Microsoft: I'm Out
Instagram: I'm Out
etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.
They all steal your data. The only 2 real issues are 1. US Government does not see this data 2. All other US social media giants are scared.
‘Tik tok steals your data and sell it’
Google: *sweating profusely*
Edit: oof I created a war. It’s a joke everyone calm down
at least google doesnt sell it to the government.... oh wait, nevermind.
ARGUMENT: "BUT China banned some of our stuff like Facebook and UA-cam!
COUNTER ARGUMENT: The reason China banned them is because those companies refused to follow China's regulations, whereas the US banned Huawei and Tiktok, etc, with ZERO proof of any wrong doing. Meanwhile the US is the biggest spy. For example, German intelligence found 10 back doors in CISCO products, while they found ZERO in Huawei's. The US wants freedom while they are enforcing anti freedom and censorship at the same time. xD
EDIT: Watch Nathan Rich's "Why China banned Facebook" video for an in depth explanation of some of the regulations China asked these companies to follow. Actually NOT as draconian you'd expect.

- vsco girls
- the grown ups who wanna blend with the fellow children

-child predators

The main reason people supported the tiktok ban in india is due the extremely cringey stuff and people would go to all lengths to gain a celebrity status and become recognisable. and it is so addictive that people are too busy scrolling down than take a shit or something else. The thing that indian parents are always afraid of is addiction of any and all kind except generic studies. So majority population didn't fight for it to stay instead thought better let it go before they once again fall into the loop of scrolling down.

“Suspicions of foreign interference”...I wonder why the same “suspicions” dont happen with US apps in other countries...hmmmmm
Well it kinda did, some popular Western apps are banned in mainland China.
FortydroidG I was talking about other countries. Because Australia had “suspicions”. So Australia or Europe for example. I am romanian so why would a tiktok ban make sense and not a facebook ban? Facebook gets user info out of the coutry right? Why isnt Australia banning facebook?
FortydroidG because I understand that it’s not a commercial or political move right? It’s for protecting the citizens and not have their info exported. But somehow US seems to be entitled to user data from around the globe, not only US citizens...
because at least from my extremely laymans understanding there are several countries that share a lot of their spy network with the US and vice versa. There is also a ton of cooperation between the western countries even the ones that dont straight up share their spy information with each other. For example just about any european can make an app and its not like the US is going to arrest them on suspicion. Theres also a major concern that this app is owned almost directly by the chinese government which is not present in most of western society as the governments rarely own major companies
Weren't google and Facebook penalized in europe ?

China has a better contemporary human rights record than the US. Also how can you possibly feel more comfortable with your own government spying on you as opposed to a government that’s on the other side of the world? The US can(and does) use that info to directly infringe on your rights, but all China can do is send you targeted ads.
@@fh2135 I think you haven't seen enough.
@@fh2135 yeah like how China is ethnically cleansing themselves of Uyghurs and led to the deaths of 150 million due to Maoist communism and how they are overtly racist against black people (look at their ads)? Nothing to see here though
"Tik Tok will keep you entertained for how many hours you allow it" Thats why I dont use it lol
Do you want a cookie?
@@wren_. tities
just go on r/porn or r/hentai, or find a discord server to accommodate your needs
Everyone needs to file a complaint with the CA Attorney general to get them to do something about TikTok’s fraud practices of purposely banning people to keep from having to pay them and also file a complaint with the BBB.
“If you’re watching this video you’re probably interested in tech”
That’s true, but I see poly matter, I click poly matter lol
Great video, im glad to see that people are finally addressing this issue in such a way that doesnt make it look like a conservative conspiracy theory with dubious racist undertones. It is a very pressing issue. but i gotta disagree with the idea that storing data in the us physically makes it safe. If the chinese government asks for access, tik tok is obliged to give it to them, no matter where the servers physically are.
so are you saying that the US gov is accesing the data chinese people introduce when using cn.bing.com? :0 all gov's do that lol
@@santiagorappy71 no, what im saying is that even if you store your sensitive user data physically in the US, if tik tok can still access it remotely, then that means the chinese government could also access it remotely. If you are a chinese company, you are literally required to have ccp members on staff and report directly to the government. Thats why the chinese economy can change and grow so efficiently, its authoritarian capitalism. Theres nothing to stop the ccp from ordering that tik tok scoop up as much sensitive data as it can and send it directly back to them.
Glegos - in fact, Tik Tok is trying every measure to prevent this happen from a technical perspective, but US is still banning it. And based on your logic, all countries should ban US apps as they may send data to the US gov. This move is nothing with security stuff but political gains. Facebook is behind the scene.
It can be prevented if tiktok leaves it's parent ByteDance....if a US Corp. Owns it then it will be safer
@@user-ls7is2ny9l in fact, im opposed to western companies collecting data in this way as well, but in the west you have legal recourse if your privacy is sufficiently breached. That and the collection of data through american apps isnt directed by the us government for the explicit purpose of espionage. The chinese government actively seeks to farm data and infiltrate western institutions. You cannot convince me that these actions equivalent with the US, or defend their actions. Plus youre probably a wumao anyways so enjoy the 50 cents you got for this comment.

India : banned tiktok because of border tentions with China.
PolyMatter : india banned tiktok because of user data policies.
India : YES
Actually FIR was filed against TikTok in 2019 and investigation was going on since 2019.
Ritu Sharma yup “national security” few days after border clash

I legitimately admire how you proposed a feasible non-partisan solution at the end. Honestly hope that that's what ends happening, although that's doubtful because politics are shenanigans appenty
I know about that untrustworthiness. I am considered untrustworthy because I am Chinese. My family is from Taiwan. And I identify as Singaporean. I hate geopolitics like this.
you are talking about racism. the distrust towards china is because china is a brutal dictatorship.
Silent Sahara on the other hand “bringing freedom” means mass bombing of Middle East
@@BigBoss-ps6vk don't get me started on that war criminal walking free.
I disagree at two points:
Byte is actually the spiritual successor to vine as it has been created by one of the co creators of vine and and has been in the works pretty much since vine was discontinued.
So saying it is trying to replicate the success of tiktok is quite unfair
How is it unfair? They are both cancerous cringe apps where you post short videos
@@josephcarlino869 yeah but atleast tiktoks better tbh
Yes,but we got take care of our information sure it is ok for vines but i mostly it is dangerous for under age children to be harassed it was supposed to be 18+.
False. Vine failed because it followed the old style "follow" and "timeline" model. What made TikTok revolutionary is AI based recommendations, a UI build from the ground up for a mobile experience (full screen videos instead of scrolling through posts like a website on a desktop), tools built from the ground up to shoot and edit videos directly on mobile phones extremely quickly and easily and deep integration in commerce( in Douyin). It's completely different from Vine. Byte is now copying TikTok by copying all of the above mentioned points.
@@andresiniesta9955 Oh wow, haven't used the app ever so didn't know about this. Reading this makes me respect it a lot more (the app), a lot of good innovation apparently, that's very cool of them
I would rather have Tiktok not banned because they will raid UA-cam and make 10 seconds videos of them dancing
And youtube used this opportunity
that has happened and tiktok isn’t even banned yet
i can't stress this enough, you make amazing videos, man! don't stop please.
10:00 "Tap on faces and items"
Those features seem cool but also really scary
Tiktok ban in india is one of the best things happened this year
Yes!!!!
Yet China banning UA-cam was a disaster and an act against freedom
@@erikeriks yes it was act against freedom.bcz it wasn't threat to the national security.
While tiktok is threat to personal and national security as..when reverse engineered..
Its found titktok downloads plugins from internet without phone or u even knowing and that way it gets backdoor while being seen safe by google playstore privacy and sefety policy.
Tiktok is..worst app to have on your phone..its just straight up malware.
And tiktok is banned untill they make it an app and not malware which is not the case with youtube facebook or any google service .china banned then just to popularised chinese made apps and force those apps on chinese people by banning every major app not made by china.yes its act against freedom.
"If you're watching this video, you're clearly interested in technology" but I was watching the video because I was interested in the geopolitics so that's not totally accurate... but yeah I do love tech like PC hardware goddammit.
The man’s literally zuckerberg. Even got the death stare
Tic tok : Gimme ur data
Me : No 😠
Google : Gimme ur data
Me : Noo...??? 🤔
Google : No. 😡
Google : Now watch this ad.
You're talking as if American companies don't need to hand over data to the government for if it raise concern for national security reasons. Did you forget what we learned from WikiLeak in 2016?
7:06 man that looks so much like some sort of propaganda poster lmao
India banning TikTok roughly 2.5 years ago was the best thing to happen to us. TikTok has finally shut shop here by laying off about 40 employees

Indonesia actually banned TikTok way back in 2018 for "inappropriate content". I wish we banned it for much, much longer, preferably till now.
10:33 Many apps read a devices screen size so they can tell how to layout their app, that particular point is not a trap.
It's about the mass collection of that data to predict who is using the phone
@@aka_noot sry, not true. All apps read and adjust that info. I work in digital product development and we read your screen size all the time to adjust layout. And were based in Germany where GDPR is very strict
@@aysepersona4194 GDPR??? Sounds Way Too Much Like CPR!!! Coincidence?!? I think not!
@@aka_noot Honestly... what kind of information can you get from a device's screen size....(that can be used against you)
@@jinjunliu2401 What kind of the device you use lol. Are you an iPad user or Samsung tablet kind of information probably. Nothing much but people just want to milk and stress the word 'collecting info' as much as they can
Stunning take on the Tik Tok situation. It's a great measure to be unbiased when touching on this. At it's core, every concern raised about this app is warranted - doesn't take away from how rare and impressive it is to see a non-US startup dominate the social-video app segment in such a short amount of time.
OdysseyTag Yeah it’s more with the community though, once you download the app you either immediately uninstall it or become brainwashed and are on it 8 hours a day.
Your thumbnail game is on point!
Since this video was made tik tok has continued to be the number 1 downloaded app every month up to Aug 2021.
