Friendly reminder to delete Facebook and Instagram if Tik Tok gets banned because:

This means our representatives and the nation's lawmakers will have very obviously shown that they are okay with being swayed by billionaires to make decisions about the rights of people.(i.e. Mark Zuckerberg is throwing a tantrum over not being able to compete with Tik Tok, so he lobbied Congress to ban it in the U.S.)

Don't support billionaires who can and will successfully throw their money at a government just because they don't get what they want.

As always, don't trust the government and do your own research. Know your human rights beyond what the government tells you. Be aware and keep yourself informed. Think critically. Question authority💙🩵

FBI is really just straight up developing Trojan horse apps now

The people in the comments are amazing, like, half of them are saying “aren’t these the normal permissions for an fitness app?” And the answer is yes. Of course they are. Your regular fitness app is a takes a ton of data on you in order to function, and that data may or may not be stored with the company for a period of time.

But here’s the thing, when the FBI needs location data on someone, they need a WARRANT to get that information from that company, or that company’s cooperation. Back in the early 2000s, there were a number of companies that simply handed over data to letter agencies like the NSA or FBI, and they got roasted for it by their customers. Don’t fool yourself, the only reason why backdoors weren’t coded into your phones by companies like Apple is because they did the math and realized that the cost of cooperating and alienating their customer base was too high, not because these companies have ethics.

So we live in a climate where companies are promising users security and privacy, and when they don’t it’s a scandal that loses them customers and money. They aren’t playing nice with the FBI, so what is the FBI to do? Easy. Circumvent silicon valley.

There is exactly zero reason for the FBI, as an organization, to make entertainment apps. Educational is maybe in line with past practices, but even when they did stuff like that in the 90s, we called it out for the propaganda it was. This app is absolutely a trojan horse. This is so they can get the data you would normally give to a 3rd party company without a warrant.

Please, ffs, learn internet history. Go take a look at the EFF website and archives. Look up the patriot act and the AT&T scandal with the NSA from around 2004. Lots of people on here were barely children pre 9/11, but you can’t possibly understand surveillance and internet policing until you understand what happened to society and privacy from 2001-2010
