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.

ARGUMENT: "BUT China banned some of our stuff like Facebook and CZcams!
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

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

-child predators

What is TikTok ?
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

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.

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.

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
It is such a great video! I learned so many new things. Thank you!
Gonna be honest, a requirement to disclose the details and inner workings of these big social media apps would be extremely good.
It saddens me how unlikely it is.
If TikTok produces reproducible open-source builds of the client, they could prove it much less of a threat.
Same goes for most other apps, honestly. There's a lot of dubious stuff running on modern phones.
yea you're right, but the ban wasn't because of actual threats, it stems from trade tensions. "National security" is just the excuse
Android and Chrome still collect your data anyway
Sure just lay out your source code for the world to see. why don’t we also ask FB and Google to do the same
"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
This seems to be the first time I've seen/heard something actually say what this TikTok thing is.
Knowing a thing or two about the current events that are unfolding, I must say that this video does a great job of showing both sides of the argument.
As a business owner, I really feel bad for Yiming.

16:00 that wouldn't do anything. Even if you forced Tiktok to store user data in US, and expose their algorithm, etc. The Beijing headquarters would be required by their law to simply copy all that data from the US to China if it so pleased at any point, because they obviously have direct access to that data center.
That can very easily be exposed. So no. The US TikTok servers are in the U.S, with a backup in Singapore. Not China.
@@hgos7211 They have to send the data to China if the CCP asks for it, so yes.
This is only assumption. And this can be applied to all apps, like google,facebook,whatsapp etc. They can also send their data to the US government. So all apps should be banned.
资深杠精_升级中 ya but it’s not to a foreign government. Imagine all user data from Weibo could be sent to US government if they requested it. Or LinkedIn, if you’d like a better example.
@@aburetik4866 Hey fellow 50 cent army? how much can i make in a day posting pro ccp propaganda, think i can make a living of it?
Remember, the biggest irony of Tiktok is that Tiktok and 抖音 are not the same. If you have a Chinese sim card, you cannot use the international version of the Tiktok.
Such a good video. So well made it’s incredible

Yes
Ah yes, a Facebook ad talking about tracking. Strange there is no “we’re sorry” on it.
Never trust Facebook; they have no morals and sold all your personal data to anyone and everyone, including China. Facebook has given away far more Americans’ personal data than TikTok could ever hope to.
You might think you’re using Facebook but in actuality they’re actually using you.
@@eyeborg3148 I never use any social media, nor I will. I see people around me just trapped in these nets. They wake up to their social media and sleep to it. I don't need such a slavery.

Summary: tiktok is accused of taking user data, which a bunch of other social media apps also does in impunity.
Tiktok is such an impressive application and so much of the coverage on it totally talks it down, this is the most informative coverage on the app/ban yet! Great job, great video!
17:11 "If youre watching this video, youre clearly interested in tech and motivated to learn on your own". HMMM
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?
I would rather have Tiktok not banned because they will raid CZcams and make 10 seconds videos of them dancing
And youtube used this opportunity
that has happened and tiktok isn’t even banned yet
you know shits going down when a video sponsored by brillant is about tiktok
TikTok gets banned for stealing your user data
Facebook: *chuckles* I'm in danger
Daniel11420 All the Karen’s. I need to find a a need home
You viewers all don’t understand this ban. It’s a political move sponsored by Facebook. Facebook will never be banned even if it collects tons of your data as it is a big supporter for republican

I literally get a tik tok ad while watching this
Great vid! Love the graphics and the story you told.
This video is exactly why I think you’re the best creator on CZcams
I used to think Facebook was the worst thing ever invented in history. Now, it's TikTok.
Kids: ruining Trump's rally
Trump: banning tiktok
Kids: Wait thats illegal!
You called it. Tik Tok is getting ready to sue back
Trump is right in doing it but that doesn't make the US any less anti china.
Tic tok : Gimme ur data
Me : No 😠
Google : Gimme ur data
Me : Noo...??? 🤔
Google : No. 😡
Google : Now watch this ad.
Your voice is very calming. Love your vids.
“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
welcome back mr anderson,we missed you!

THE TIK TOK BAN
Its a clone of Vines. Anybody remember Vines? Damn I am getting old.
You're not getting old, the world is just moving faster
No, it is not. Vines was technically a 6 seconds CZcams.
Tiktok has that AI recommendation thingy and tons of easy to use features to allow you make cool videos.... cringy videos, that's how they get young people hooked. Their facial recognition, filters, video editing tools etc are really scarily advanced.
I am old, but not old enough to not see the difference.
Vine*
@Jon Bjornssen hahahah yeah, i'm not actually old, but just not young anymore.
Yeah social medias will eventually specialize and each target a niche market.
Vines were one million times better than TikTok, we all can at least agree with that.
It didn't have all the cringe teenaged white girls "dancing"

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
