We're long overdue for a global GDPR framework. Implementing it seems impossible due to the financial and logistical incentives for corporations and government, but we've handled worse issues on a global stage. >


We're long overdue for a global GDPR framework

I mean how can you protect citizens rights to constitutional privacy without one? All these foreign spy agencies, government contractors and private corporations swaying elections and collecting meta data is a threat to democracy, or a moral hazard at the very least >

With roe overturned do we have a constitutional right to privacy? Where is it? >

On a more serious note: fuck that ruling >

Tik Tok: "your data is safe from unauthorized access." >

The access was authorized, just not by you. >

Just measuring your account's speech for freedom >

I don't use TikTok; so it seems to me like using tiktok for confidential communications was a rather stupid thing for a professional journalist to do. But maybe tiktok is somehow essential for them, and I'm just not in the loop? >

The media is generally pretty brain dead and only working for their paycheck.
See US media not caring that US Gov just convicted a Twitter employee for being a spy for Saudi Arabia, meanwhile Saudi government is now one of the major owners of Twitter. Says everything you need to know about us. The people that helped to make 9/11 possible only has to spend enough money lobbying and buying PR and both the US gov and media will not care what you do.
The US gov literally accused the Saudi spy of doxing Saudi dissidents whom were promptly chopped up and then let Elon with MBS buy Twitter while freaking out about Tik Tok. We're the same country that classified portions of the 9/11 Commission's Report that detailed a Saudi intelligence operative helping Al Qaeda in San Diego. Al Qaeda even filmed them hanging out with him, which was uncovered when they raided the Hamburg cell, you can see parts of that video on Youtube.
EDIT: I like the Saudi downvotes. >

The media did cover it though. If you look up the story there are articles from all the major news outlets. >

It wasn't covered as the top news item and instead was buried under other news due to Saudi PR spending. Many US entities are cautious about writing about Gulf States because through a myriad of companies, they own a lot of US assets. Like hardly anyone knows the Miramax is owned by a Gulf State.
And the media didn't see the hypocrisy between US government prosecuting a Saudi spy and then weeks later let the Saudi's help Elon buy Twitter.
EDIT: Saudi shills are downvoting hard. >

Not sure this is so much brain dead as... billionaires own all of our major media corporations and they're pretty keen to support foreign investments in the gulf states and, until very recently, Russia.
Blaming this on journalist incompetence and not ownership literally defunding newsrooms and having complete editorial control is a bit off the mark. >

I dunno, no journalist bothered to check with Stanford whether Elon actually went there and nobody bothered to look up unsealed court documents from a lawsuit in 2007 in Marin county court where Elon admitted to lying about his credentials.
Until recently, 99% of media coverage of Elon for the last several decades has been glowing. Even though all it took was one person to contact Stanford to verify Elon's attendance and the fake narrative comes crashing down.
EDIT: Thanks Elon stans. >

On what analysis are you basing that 95% figure? Does it include print and tv? US markets only or other set of markets?
Because my personal impression - based on print only (mainly weeklies), US FRA and CA sources - was a solid mix of positive, neutral/bemused, and negative. 
The US media environment is still a clusterfuck in the aggregate, but making random declarations like “didn’t cover X” or “only said Y” is no better than the garbage, fact free op eds pushed out in the daily papers. >

There no analysis and you cant define what is media and what isn't, or who's a journalist and no isn't. Everything is subjective.
Which is why they make a TV show Succession about the Australian white nationalist that runs the media in Australia, US, and the UK. >

Chek the Solid project. Keeping your information in one place instead of spreading it everywhere.
From the guy that made HTML. Seing how well that went, I'm excited to see where this goes. >

Article doesn't ever mention that Chinese companies are by law required to share all data with the government. Bytedance is a Chinese government front. >

Chinese going through everyone's info? Say it ain't so! >

And that’s why I don’t use TikTok. >

Also, it is the current playground of the idiotic and vapid. Just like Insta, Vine (which TikTok basically “is”, just with newer features), Facebook, MySpace, etc etc. >

Yeah, reddit definitely doesn't have the idiotic and vapid though. >

There is zero privacy in the world if you use the internet. >

Nah even if you don't use the internet. See: Equifax breach >

Oh but whatabout.... TikTok is spyware plain and simple and they have to follow all CCP commands/orders but in America, Apple can tell the DoJ to f itself and refuse to unlock phones from shooters. >

As they should be able too. >

TikTok on the other hand can't deny any requests from the CCP. >

Yea that’s the problem. >

The surprising part here is “TikTok confirms”.
