A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

An explosive new lawsuit claims TikTok's owner built a 'backdoor' that allowed the CCP to access US user data (archive.is)

  • ByteDance allowed a Chinese Communist Party unit to censor content and access data, a new lawsuit alleges.
  • The unit, referred to as the "Committee," even had a "death switch" to turn off certain apps.
  • ByteDance built a "backdoor channel" to enable CCP access to US user data, the suit alleges.

I hope this app gets picked apart and investigated thoroughly. If the claims in the lawsuit are true, then it will have confirmed what probably a lot of privacy-minded people have long been suspecting. xpost from privacy@lemmy.ml

I tell people in my family that there is spyware on their phones. They don't really care or shrug it off.
