      I’m quite aware of how warfare has changed, as is clearly evident from my posting so far.

      You’ve yet to articulate an actual threat TikTok’s data harvesting has on the civilian populace. We agree about military/government security protocols.

          You’re retreading ground weve covered but keep mentioning an “information model” bogeyman that you have not yet clarified as a threat.

          Our difference of opinion is due to me not seeing that as a credible threat. Can you address that specifically?

              People have a right to consume propaganda if they like, though. I’m not sure how this is a unique threat.

              If people are susceptible to propaganda, by problem is with the people, not the service providers
