TikTok is said to collect “everything”, from search and browsing histories; keystroke patterns; biometric identifiers—including faceprints, something that might be used in “unrelated facial recognition technology”, and voiceprints—location data; draft messages; metadata; and data stored on the clipboard, including text, images, and videos.

Obviously, they all are, what did people expect?

Brilliant. US pharma at its best.

Edit. Did i read that correctly? The drugs their now pushing for alzheimers are so expensive that even with just a few people taking them they drive the insurance premiums up of the whole of the US?

F me, i need to be in the suffering humans game, business is good.

Good. F'China. They have no rights or control over Taiwan. It never has been part of China.

Yep they can piss off, I was trying to track the wife's flight yesterday and FR24 was bogged down with day-trippers tracking Pelosi.

I don't think anyone outside of the Chinese government and some (certainly not all) mainlander Chinese people consider Taiwan to be anything other than an independent country. It's ridiculous that pretty much the entire world has to pretend that Taiwan is part of China, when everyone knows it is complete bull. I'd quite like to go there, it looks like a really interesting place!

I can't imagine the heartbreak of having your child murdered in a school mass-shooting, but to then have someone with a show say to listeners that they believe it was a hoax and make money from those shows.

That's what Alex Jones has done and he's being sued by the parents of the victims of the Sandy Hook school shooting.

Naturally, without his audience to perform to, he's floundering when questioned in court, especially when he's claimed that ne never texted about Sandy Hook, then the prosecutor reveals he was accidentally sent digital copies of all his texts from the last two years proving that he has lied in court.
