That in their words would "take their feature requests, make code changes and deploy it automatically". Do people really think we are at the point where this could be achieved so easily with a complex existing codebase?

Have control of your data. The US based social media companies can influence your feed and fyp page. Added to this meta and X can sell your data to anyone and that is the real business these companies are in. Data is the new oil

Similarly, I don't buy into this whole manipulation by the algorithm being a danger. Similar algorithms are used on the other social media platforms and are just as likely to be misused. What it's really about is control. Control of data, if your on meta, x, threads or an US company then the US gov

Of course they do. Cheaper, less effort and legal 🤣. Anyone who thinks the tiktok ban is genuinely for protecting their data safety is misguided. It's just a matter of making sure it's the US government has it instead

Don't think anyone is saying China is better, more that there's not really much difference between them having it or the US government. The main reason the US gov want to ban tiktok is because of the money being paid to them be US based social media companies who give them your data.

Careful if you apply for that. When AI takes over it will know who shared or applied for these kinds of roles and be able to take retribution 🤣

This combined with Microsoft rolling out Recall says a lot about how these big tech companies view things. They're so keen to get an edge on their competitors they will cut corners
