Thinking of installing TikTok on my phone and spinning up an account because fuck the US Federal Government.
Discussion
But then you're submitting to the Chinese govt
But submitting what? Videos of plants?
I get what you’re saying, I really do but this bullshit restrict act is out of line.
#[2] doesn’t really have the right approach. I would recommend not going through downloading simply because of the access/permissions to your phone that it would give TT/ByteDance (and therefore CCP). This article I’m posting shows what a software engineer discovered when he reverse engineered the software months ago.

Like the article says... submitting pretty much everything
Oh yeah it is definitely an out of line power grab
Regardless of what anyone says, tik tok is an app we should try to learn from. Its a better search engine than google, it has better reviews than yelp, among other things. I don't think it would be a bad idea for nostr clients to incorporate ideas from wechat and tik tok.
Nostr should be one finger of a "super app" that allows you to plugin your bitcoin & lightning wallet, have video calls/hosting & chat rooms with keet.io, maybe an authentication app like google authenticator, I could see a chromium web browser like brave but without all the crypto bullshit. All would be apps that can function on their own, open source, but collected into one app to rule them all.
But Chyna will spy on you dancing in your kitchen and making your dog wear pyjamas and WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY MIGHT DO WITH THAT
