Last week I went to a security conference at Vanderbilt University, focused on the threat from China.  Speakers included the top leadership from the NSA, CIA, DEA and FBI Director Christopher Wray, among many others. And many of the speakers were asked about TikTok. It didn't matter who it was or whether they were liberal or conservative, or if they worked in the Biden, Trump or Obama administrations. ALL OF THEM said that Tiktok had to go because of national security and specifically the spying on Americans they already knew was going on by the CCP.

Tik tok is basically heavily invasive spyware on behalf of China. 

It literally crawls your entire device and sends the data back home. 

Yikes. 

Good that it is either banned or sold to someone who must comply with consumer protections. 

And I should care why? Chinese, American, all of you are spying.

Basically it works like this: Civilian Americans care about Americans being spied on by adversarial nations - the same nations that force American companies to hand over all data traffic to said governments in order to enable censure and spying on not only its own citizens, but those they communicate with.

Joe Biden needs to go. I am sorry but I am not usually political but this guy is ridiculous 

This started two years into the Trump administration.

So… the pc destroyed her “paper?” Or was it a document? As in Word doc?

because then the PC really didn’t destroy her “paper.” She just forgot to save her work. 

Must have been the Benadryl?
