You're tearing me apart!
hark, 
Do memes stop being memes when they’re on tiktok?
S_204, Once they hit TikTok, they’re purely Chinese spyware.
Reddfugee42, And that’s different than American spyware in several important ways, such as…
Such as…
Well shit.
Tlaloc_Temporal, 
Eh, I used to think this too, but TikTok isn’t closely associated with chinese companies, any more than TakeTwo or anything made in Shenzhen.
I still abhor it for what it is though, alongside YTShorts.
hark, What sort of spyware do they employ?
S_204, The worst kind.
hark, Any actual information on the spyware or nah?
S_204, Are you actually this ignorant? There have been exposés in multiple international newspapers on the source code after it leaked.
If you’re so stupid that you’ve entirely missed one of the largest spyware scandals in recent history, then I don’t think there’s a source I can give you that’s going to cure your other stupidity.
Trying to jaq off here like you are just makes you look like pathetic.
hark, Could you link to any source that talks about this spyware or are you just going to insult me for not knowing about every single thing that is going on? Clearly this is an important issue for you, so I would love to gain some knowledge from you on this subject.
markon, Facebook is just American spyware. The Chinese gov can’t exactly send the feds to my house. You better bet the US gov can though!
SuperSpruce, Forget countries, if Facebook is like having a prying eye spy on you, TikTok is like having 100 prying eyes spying on you.
Philharmonic3, Waaaaaaah waaaaah it’s fine. Tiktok isn’t gonna kill you.
AgentGrimstone, I just don’t respond but she’s not getting the hint.
Reddfugee42, Lol people don’t know their friends are platform snobs 😅
DragonTypeWyvern, Platform purist ty
Uglyhead, 
Tyvm
Rhoeri, 
Ugh… I can feel this in my bones.
Emerald, Why don’t they just actually send the video file?
schnokobaer, Those apps purposely don’t make it trivial to download the files do they? You probably could but someone who swipes Tiktok all day can not.
raginghummus, Lots of tiktoks can be downloaded easily, but still, they can be large, why send those around when you can just send a link
WalrusDragonOnABike, For better user experience for the person receiving it.
vsh, 
Downloading takes time and disk space. Sending a link is easier.
UltraMagnus0001, Facebook videos for me
AnxiousDuck, Have you heard about our lords and saviors the alternative frontends?
pewgar_seemsimandroid, i shall retaliate with fediverse links
byroon, This but it’s instagram
WalrusDragonOnABike, It’s both. So annoying when the first bit is muted and you can’t replay.
driving_crooner, 
My wife created an Instagram account in my phone so she can send me videos.
FlyingSquid, 
Suddenly glad all of my friends are old people like me.
Zagorath, 
old people like me
The person who sends me far more TikTok videos than anyone else is my boomer dad.
vsh, I’m in this photo and I don’t like it.
