China gets every metric possible from every single device in the world that uses tik tok. If you don't think so... Pull your head out of your ass.
Pull your head out of your ass.
But that’s where my phone is.
Didn’t they explicitly say a while ago that they didn’t do this?
I’m pretty sure they’ve said this multiple times throughout the years and then everytime theres a story it did happen
Almost as if... because there weren't consequences the first time they blatantly lied to people's faces... they just continued to do so, repeatedly.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?
Do you really think someone would do that?
If a company is doing that though that seems like it could be quite a major issue though
It's not a company.
It's a CCP company.
Same rules do not apply.
It’s exactly the same as facebook but “big scary Gyna and ce ce pee”
As clever as you think you're being, it is an important difference.
Mostly because in the US you can choose not to use it, in china choosing not to use it affects your social credit score, and whether you can buy a house or ride the bus.
Slight difference in potential consequences for benign behavior.

Do you have any source that says that using TikTok is mandatory in China, or that not using it does what you're asserting?
The social credit score is mandatory, and what you watch on it is absolutely used to adjust your credit score.
So no, i don't have a direct source that says "you must use this app or your credit score goes down", i have a reasonable informed idea that it probably does, based on china's current treatment of it's citizens.
Why, do you happen to a single or any even tangentially related source pretending it doesn't?
No of course you can't opt out of the social credit score.
what you watch on it is absolutely used to adjust your credit score.
And yet another bold claim that you are even being so bold as to say is absolutely true. Do you have evidence for this one, either?
I'm asking you to defend your claim that not using TikTok specifically affects your social credit score.
So no, i don’t have a direct source that says “you must use this app or your credit score goes down”, i have a reasonable informed idea that it probably does, based on china’s current treatment of it’s citizens.
This absolutely doesn't follow. Can you elaborate on your logic here? There is no obvious line of reasoning from "china's current treatment of its citizens" to "TikTok is mandatory". Your imagination is not evidence of something.
Why, do you happen to a single or any even tangentially related source pretending it doesn’t?
I'm not the one asserting that failure to use TikTok negatively affects your social credit score; no, I can't find a source that explicitly states "not using TikTok doesn't affect your social credit score", because that's not how this works. You make a positive assertion you provide evidence to back that up.
