Summary: TikTok, a weapon manufactured and managed by ByteDance, does much harm; we remind readers what ByteDance is really up to and cite a dozen news links about it
THERE is not enough recognition that TikTok is a dangerous weapon which deserves banning. For over a decade all the media scrutiny was directed at Twitter and GAFAM (or MAGMA, which includes LinkedIn, YouTube and Facebook after the “Meta” rebrand).
> “For ByteDance, there’s no need for a business model.”
We don’t typically condone banning or “censoring” things, but in this case it’s like saying that issuing a call to ban nuclear weapons is a censorious action. We intend to keep reminding readers, at least once a week, what TikTok truly is. TikTok is not social control media but a tentacle of a spying operation, ByteDance. It’s controlled by China, contrary to what ByteDance tried to say some days ago [1-2] (face-saving lies), and it is doing real harm to Western societies [3] while sporting so-called “Influencers” [4-5] (euphemism for shills, which it now bankrolls to lobby for ByteDance).
For ByteDance, there’s no need for a business model. It’s just spying on billions of people. The Communist Party can cover the expenses. In fact, there are no sign of a commercial success (things get shut down again [6-8]), but the data stays forever. Moreover, the harm done to one’s surroundings is irreversible.
TikTok divides society (see the examples published in Daily Links earlier today [9, 10]. It’s by design. It also encourages the so-called “users” to vandalise and harm their surroundings… unless they are in China or in close Chinese allies (see the documentary what ByteDance internally calls “spinach” vs “opium” TikTok). It controls behaviour. It can seed discord. The “app” makes an army of “zombies”. They are remotely conrrolled, in very large numbers (at scale). Consider our ongoing series about the ‘Cancel Culture’ Industry [1, 2, 3, 4].
> “Even if the government does not ban TikTok, you really need to get TikTok out of your life and, if possible, out of the hands of loves ones.”
There’s growing recognition in the West that TikTok harms kids’ minds. It also harms their bodies (incidentally, the famous Facebook whistleblower speaks about it again; Facebook too does both). A week ago, responding to this perception criris, TikTok decided to “give parents even more control over what their teens see”, but it’s actually ByteDance controlling what they see.
While it’s nice to see YouTube and Twitter circling down the drain (among other social control networks), let’s not forget the threat which is ByteDance. Even if the government does not ban TikTok, you really need to get TikTok out of your life and, if possible, out of the hands of loves ones. █
