Well I do have setup's that stop as much adds and tracking I can get. Including a hacked version of TikTok. And it's giga corps regardless of what country. I always never trust them.
Very interested into this, where did you get that? At the moment I'm using a burner phone to use TikTok to keep my privacy, so a revanced version of TikTok would be nice
Lol I'm actually using revanced manager to get it
Thanks, I'll give it a try
Cool! Although if it's able to detect that you enjoy "lgbt and neurodivergent people", then it sounds like the tracking isn't being blocked. On the other hand, it's kinda working for you and that's mainly what matters:-).
Honestly I trust foreign countries with my data a lot lot more then the US.
VERY true, sadly. However, I would consider China as one of the exceptions to that... mainly bc it sounded like that's what John Oliver was telling me to do:-P
Don't really watch mainstream news like them. To much incentive for capatilism and money then actually reporting on what people should need to know. Which is another reason why I generally get news from just people who are not in the media. :)
I mean, while that is a true statement, he in particular has been allowed to get away with saying some VERY anti-capitalist takes, and moreover TikTok itself is somewhat known for selectively altering what content is fed to people as well - e.g. more vs. less "attractive" people. So while I'm not arguing against your statement, I'm saying there seems more to that story:-).
