  • Majority of Americans don't understand national security, cyber security, or privacy.

  • I'm going to guess a large percentage cannot fully explain why the think that.

  • I don't use tiktok because it's bad for me and makes my older phone heat up, but it's a great app that leads you to your very niche interests if you guide the algorithm to do so - that's even despite the 'heating button' that their employees use to make favoured (creators/corps) content go viral.

  • I don't get it. Either China is getting all my data or the US is getting all my data. I don't see a substantive difference.

    Since I'm not in the CCCP debate at all, I'd rather China have it.
