    Wow, any kind of proof behind that? TikTok was one of the few places I could actually watch live journalism from Gaza documenting the genocide, which sure seemed to provoke a propaganda campaign against it and pretty blatantly unconstitutional ban.

      Exactly. Yeah, there’s a whole lot of things wrong with TikTok, but banning it is censorship veiled as ‘protecting the children’ and shit.

      Undermining your trust in the US media and political leadership. Ergo, Evil Chinese Propaganda.

        Random anonymous reddit user who didn’t compile his findings into a report pointing to the places in the app binary where these things happen. OK.

          I wouldn’t generally require people to “compile their findings into a report”, but in this case the messages are weirdly devoid of any checkable information and then the reddit user in question mysteriously lost a laptop full of findings, so, yeah, these claims are not compelling. I don’t think the reverse engineer in question was lying, per se, but I do think they were very wrong at first by random chance, the story gained traction, and then they were too embarrassed to admit they fucked up.

            If he’s a professional security analyst, his findings would be compiled into a report. Demonstration of where code is in the binary, even network sniffing results - something. An article saying “this guy said so and he knows what he’s talking about” is literally crazy.
