This kia thing being popularized on social media is kind of interesting. I used to think that big tech should keep their hands off of censoring content, but now I'm not too sure. I am also suspicious that TikTok/CCP is intentionally promoting this stuff to cause turmoil in the US...,(reply>), @Adam N Showing security flaws - yes. Stealing a car and driving it fast for a challenge - no. I think censoring only this challenge wouldn't be too bad although it would be better if KIA gave all their cars immobilizers too.<br><br>Honestly, if this challenge was "repark a random kia a few spots to the side" it would still get viral and no kids would die, the only one to blame would be kia. Then censoring this would be unnecessary,(reply>), @Adam N i think publications about security flaws should be rather carefull.<br>if someone notices a security problem he should notify the company first and give them oportunity to adress the problam, also communicating "i will publish this in 4 weeks",(reply>), We should not censor content that reveals security flaws. The only way to protect yourself and/or keep companies honest is to have security out in the open. Otherwise you we gain a false sense of security. <br>There is a reason lockpicking is allowed and freely spoken about - it creates a system where shitty locks are known to be shitty and therefore not used, and any company telling you that their lock is good has to have the results to back it up.<br>tl:dr - security through obscurity is no security at all,(reply>), There's no suspicious about it. That's EXACTLY what TikTok does. There's a reason the algorithm over in China is COMPLETELY different (promoting patriotic &amp; "responsible" behavior/stuff). ByteDance is nothing but a CCP psyop in tech company form.,(reply>), For the past month, there have been multiple car thefts and vandalism at my work. They'll find a Kia to steal, then drive around in that and smash windows. We have a private security company monitoring our lots, multiple concrete barricades, but these criminals don't seem to care. And they're minors so the justice system doesn't do anything if they get caught.
