With the change in TikTok ownership, TikTok users in the U.S. are collectively freaking out over the company’s updated privacy policy after being alerted to the changes through an in-app message.

The revised document details the U.S. joint venture’s conditions for using its service, including the specific location information it may collect.

Many users are also posting to social media about language found in the policy, which says that TikTok could collect sensitive information about its users, including their “sexual life or sexual orientation, status as transgender or nonbinary, citizenship or immigration status.”

      Yes I am being facetious, do you believe everything the state department says about its enemies, with zero evidence?

      btw, it’d be cool if there was a Cuban Space Microwave defrosting CIA agents brains, other than ICE agents, I can’t think of someone more deserving.

        Not at all, but I do believe the USSR developed technologies that could simultaneously record people in secret while also dosing them with enough radiation and/or hypersonic/infrasonic interference to mess with their biological systems and give them headaches, nausea, vertigo, confusion, fatigue, and other symptoms, and bugged the walls of the US embassy in Havana with said devices.

        I also believe the CIA developed a radiation gun that can give someone a heart attack/migraines/psychosis at a distance while leaving no audible or visible traces.

        Just because “USSR = Bad” doesn’t mean “CIA = Good.” Not everybody has the cognitive development level of a cro magnon to where they think the world is so simple that they can divide everything into neat little categories such as “good vs. bad” or “if one side bad then the other good.”
