But following media reports, it has also admitted that China-based employees had access to US users’ data, although the company insisted it was under strict and highly limited circumstances.

Employees of ByteDance might be Chinese, but they don’t work for the government. They work for ByteDance. I haven’t found anyone claiming to have proof that data in US citizens has left the company. Just fears that it could.

There is concern that ByteDance may be giving the Chinese government access to data on US citizens. It’s worth noting that no proof of this actually happening has surfaced.

Mostly because of this. TikTok is the app collecting massive amounts of data on its users with dubious intent and questionable security that is currently being scapegoated, and discord is on the long list of popular apps that collect massive amounts of data their users with dubious intent and questionable security that we are not scapegoating.

Don’t ruin your own experience because someone else is enjoying it differently than you like to

A lot of fridges are made to go both ways. You have to attach the handle and the hinge when you get it. A lot of fridges will have two plugs on the other side to cover the unused bolt holes

Yeah, this sounds like a good prank: it messes with their muscle memory, but it’s otherwise harmless

I got here too late, and ngl, I feel like I missed a joke I would have liked.

Either this is implying that Linux users are hiding who they are to fit in, and Windows users are comfortable in their own skin, or this is just transphobic as fuck.

If it’s the former, this may be the wrong sub for you. If it’s the latter, this may be the wrong world for you.

Well, some advice you didn’t ask for, and that I don’t always follow: it’s easier to start a conversation where it is, and direct people towards the productive conversation you want to have, than to start off by calling someone a villain for something they already said. You didn’t make your point easy to appreciate.

I will say you’ve given me some food for thought, though.

So, telling people to not try and be funny, even those you agree with, is definitely alienating your allies. I hear what you’re saying, but I have also seen parents losing their ever loving shit at PTA meetings… And to say that everyone must treat those ignorant displays with quiet respect, because CRT was mentioned… Seems a bit beyond the pale.

Okay, so, I am reading what you’re saying, and I don’t really know how one could make a joke that isn’t, by your understanding, part of the conservative agenda.

And if that’s what you think, I am curious why you’re looking at memes at all.

I think you’re alienating your allies here. This is clearly intended to be left leaning, and you’re lumping OP with Trump and facists.
