Hi smart people of blind, I completely understand the feeling of hatred against CCP, especially from Google, and Facebook employees as their product is not allowed in China. Apart from that, please understand data privacy is a myth. One thing is definite that the international data is not stored in China's datacentre and Chinese employees have access only to aggregated data. And regarding the usefulness of Tiktok, people claiming that it's a piece of shit and makes us dumb should also ban Instagram, Youtube, Facebook, etc (most of the content is useless). I thought Television was called idiotbox for a reason. I haven't seen GenZ doing useful things in YouTube. Forget about it, there are multiple perspectives to it. TBH, I don't use Tiktok, Instagram, play video games, and even don't recommend anyone. The thing is have you ever thought about people who will lose their jobs due to this political instability? There are 2000 people in India, more than 400 in Singapore, and a lot of people across Malaysia, Indonesia, UAE, Australia, Europe who will lose their jobs and especially during this tough times when the world is facing huge instability due to coronavirus. Please be humble and merciful. The world don't need more stupid people especially at this time. #tech #layoffs
I read this a couple of times. I don't get what you are trying to defend. Company != people. Please don't take the negative sentiment against a company personally
Sure but people can’t differentiate that
Negative sentiment against tiktok is completely justified.
Care to review the reddit post that claims to have reverse engineered tiktok and raised concerns about data handling
That post gave me a good laugh. Are you an engineer?
That reddit post is honestly hilarious. How does any engineer or anyone who works in Tech who understand how much tracking we do actually believe that shit. No person who has worked at FB or Google could say they track less with a straight face. People are so gullible.
I feel empathy for what you feeling OP as working for the company which got caught up in crossfire in entire world. But how come the excuse that “data privacy is a myth” can convince general masses. Forget about general population , how that will convince regulating authorities which exercises better control on other brand you listed. People haven’t came out of shock of how COVID is covered by WHO and China, so in such a situation trusting over no data residing in China and all is like asking too much of trust I believe. Sorry for your situation.
What exactly was covered by China since January?
Nothing. This Walmart guy is a known troll on Blind
High risk high reward, you should understand the stability aspect of joining this company the moment you took the offer. It is your choice, now face the consequences. Sorry, no pity at all.
Says Uber. Stupid of u to say that. Ur already in the next round of layoffs
Part of our high pay is compensating the risk of layoff. We all know that.
They took advantage of an api that Apple left available. If they get it from ur phone ur the idiot too
what api is that?
TikTok is great, much better than all the shit produced by Facebook
Put that in your mid-year self appraisal review. 😄
Seriously, I thought Instagram was alright until I started using Tiktok. The app is done better than ins.
Don't take too much stress OP. If the top management of your firm is good enough, you'll get through this. Anything from China is going to get some hate for the near future.
God bless
Op hows the overall sentiment at tiktok? I'm interviewing and really keen but the recent news makes it a little too risky. Hope you and the company rides through this period
Not too much worry. We know we have no data in China. Our infrastructure is outside of China. If need be we can spin-off away from bd. I would think people would love to invest in tiktok the startup
Penny69 why you still login by your Uber account
US should have banned TikTok 2 years ago
Need to build a GFW now
Support++ also in the interview process. The news makes me a little worried
