I asked this on another thread, and I’m truly curious.

What is the national security threat to the owners of TikTok having my contacts and other social media information? Can anyone help me understand the national security issue on this?

Is it just because the Chinese will spam my contacts with propaganda? Will they try to get my contacts to buy cheap Chinese stuff they don’t need in the first place? I really think this is super hyperventilated, hair on fire, nothing burger. Help me understand if I’m wrong on this.

@monkeyninja

OK. So now they have my contacts. What then? Are they gonna spam all of my friends with communist Chinese propaganda? Are they going to try to get me to buy cheap Chinese crap I don’t need in the first place? I still haven’t really gotten a good explanation of what having my information is going to do to national security. Am I missing something?

Elon Musk is the best thing that has ever happened to Mastodon.

I have, for a coondoggies age, accepted YOUR exceptions! I have made exception after exception for your exceptions! And now, out of the blue, you decide it’s unacceptable to accept my exceptions! As if YOUR exceptions are superior to mine! Exceptionally unacceptable!!

People will click a link to have a Nigerian prince deposit $6M into their bank account displaying the terrifying ability of email to make people to stupid shit.

It’s not about the red and blue. It’s all about the green.

Many will respond to this with some iteration of “we are above violence”. My question to them would be “at what point will you defend yourself?”

Gangsters always watch each other’s backs so it could cause some dilemmas.

Oh GAWD! I always thought this guy was 3/4 dooshbag, but this makes it 💯

Given what happened on January 6th there may be a lot of people that think they’ll be treated with kid gloves.

It seems law enforcement should be saying there will be ZERO tolerance for anything but peaceful protest regarding a Trump indictment. Fuck these crybabies.

“Giant blob of seaweed heading toward Florida” seems like a logical outcome.

@RobertMaguire

There won’t be anyone, not a single person, that will go under ground and supply them.

@drewharwell Maybe another issue that warrants consideration is addressing ChatGPT as if it were a person. Your questions, like many others, are framed as though the machine responding is self-aware. It’s not “confused”; you’re anthropomorphizing it.

They didn’t include the kids that are turned into pillars of salt after viewing a drag queen.
