China Could Be Harvesting All of Your Personal Data Through TikTok -- Even If You Don't Use TikTok

China can download individual information via TikTok, but even if you're not on TikTok, web-crawlers can scour the internet for data about you from other networks.

The social media app TikTok has been a focus for concerns that the Chinese government could access data on individual users. Whether the app poses a security risk remains unclear, but TikTok has been banned from government devices in several countries.

However, reports suggest that computer-based tools designed to collect data from publicly available sources can also collate extensive information on TikTok users -- as well as those on other networking apps. These Open Source Intelligence tools need no special access to apps. This raises questions that apply to all forms of social media.

In 2015, on a visit to the United Kingdom, President Xi Jinping of China said: "The Chinese government supports Chinese companies in going global. But we believe that this process should be market-oriented, with companies being the main driver."


...

You might be forgiven for thinking this was yet another classic piece of corporate engineering resulting in an Internet sensation. However, some governments in Europe and North America seem to think that TikTok is more than a simple commercial enterprise.

TikTok has been a lightning rod for a shift in sentiment that has seen the United Kingdom, European Union, Canada and the United States ban the app from government devices on grounds of security. TikTok narrowly missed being banned completely from the United States in 2020 by then-President Donald Trump. That threat has been revived under the Biden administration.


Much of the worry about TikTok is fueled by Chinese government legislation compelling companies based in the country to cooperate with state authorities as required. It's an open question whether TikTok is really a security risk; it could also be a company caught in the crossfire of tensions between countries.


Security concerns were supported by a report in 2022 from cybersecurity firm Internet 2.0. Their investigations appeared to show that TikTok was capturing data with the potential to be useful, should someone wish to build a profile of the user.

This would have remained a purely theoretical threat if the data were not being passed back to China. For a long time, TikTok insisted any data collected by its servers could not be accessed by anyone in China.

In November, the company changed its privacy policy. It now said staff in China could access data. In fact, it went further, stating that European users' data was accessible to TikTok staff in Brazil, Canada, Israel, the United States and Singapore. This did little to help quell security concerns.

The fact that China -- and Russia -- and other countries -- and hostile US corporations -- are all collecting data is especially ominous when you consider the "Store Now, Decrypt Later" agenda.

Currently, most encrypted data is protected by RSA encryption, which encrypts data using a ferociously large number. The keys to decrypting this data are the prime number factors which were multiplied to generate that ferociously large number.

For all intents and purposes, a good RSA is uncrackable within any reasonable about of time -- it could take decades to break an RSA code.

But that's with current computers. Quantum computers don't have many advantages over normal computers, except a big one -- they can factor ferociously large numbers into their prime factors like no one's business. A code that might take a normal super-computer 10 years to break could take a quantum computer minutes or hours.

But quantum computers don't work well -- yet. The emphasis very much on the "yet."

While quantum computing is so difficult to achieve we don't have any quantum computers that can do anything beyond simple calculations, experts expect that we'll have fully-developed quantum computing in 10 to 20 years, at most.

And that means that all the data which is currently safe from computer code-breaking attempts will become easily breakable in 10 to 20 years.

Thus, "store now, decrypt later." Simply download all the encrypted data you can now, and store it. You can't break those codes now -- but you will be able to in the near future.

And when all that encrypted data is suddenly easily read -- that will be a "quantum apocalypse" for data protection.

Cybersecurity experts have warned that hackers are stealing data now to decrypt it in the future, as quantum computing could render modern encryption methods obsolete.

Quantum computers are expected to shake up our world for better -- and, potentially, for worse.

These powerful machines merge computer science and quantum physics to vastly increase processing power, and can solve certain types of problems much faster than a conventional computer.

Once true quantum computers become a reality, they are expected to surpass modern computers in almost every way, performing calculations that would otherwise be impossible.

However, there is a growing concern among cybersecurity experts that the quantum apocalypse is approaching. This is a term used to describe the predicted fallout of quantum computers being able to solve current cryptographic algorithms quickly.

Jason Soroko is the CTO of PKI at cybersecurity firm Sectigo. He told SiliconRepublic.com that while quantum computing has progressed in a linear way, we have to anticipate "eureka" moments that could really speed up its advancement.

"It is a matter of when rather than whether quantum computers will change the digital world as we know it," Soroko said.

But there are already suggestions that sensitive data is being stolen by hackers to be decrypted in a quantum future, setting an urgency to update modern encryption methods.

And meanwhile China just downloads, downloads, downloads.

I never before saw an ad on FB for a Cadillac. It's not paranoia if they're really out to get us and have the means.

Twenty five plus years coding is my resume. They're only catching up (on the internet) with stuff I was coding in the 90's. If you're not paranoid yet, you're not paying attention.

65 I have some insider knowledge on this

Some senators have access to TikTok's source code, including little Marco Rubio, who recently asked nonsensical questions made to sound really bad, such as is "China able to control the data of users who use TikTok?" Well marco, you tell us since you have access to the code you fucking showboating dipstick

And why have government employees been allowed to have ANY social media or location tracking apps on their government issued phones whatsoever?

Whatever you think about Facebook (and Google) tracking, I promise you, it's even worse than you think or suspect.

In fact it's Meta/FB whatever the fuck ever that is lobbying behind the scenes to get TikTok banned in order to remove the competition, so a lot of this is corporate disinformation

How much you want to bet Meta/Google/Amazon is not only collecting far more data on you than TT, but also selling it... to CHINA

BTW, Bytedance isn't incorporated in China but in the Cayman Islands, and is owned by a variety of different companies

95 "If quantum computing can easily decrypt RSA data, then what will be used to encrypt data once quantum computing exists?"

Theoretically, only option would be digital version of a one-time pad code system, which is unbreakable. Code is used only once, each communication uses a different set. I suppose quantum computing combined with traffic analysis and very savvy people could, sometimes, still break this system, but still you have something new to break every time.

117 I've lost count of how many major data breaches have exposed my personal data. I know as of a few years ago there were at least eleven major, nationally known data breaches that affected me personally.

I also know that companies like Facebook use shadow accounts to track people they know of, but who don't have an actual Facebook account. So if your kid, your wife, and one of your family members occasionally post a picture with you in it, or talk about something you did, or anything similar, Facebook knows almost as much about you as they do about any other regular user.

I'm not a fatalist. I still try to be a little careful about exposing my personal information, but as far as I'm concerned, there's no hiding from Sauron's eye, and even non Intelligence agency bodies know a crapton about all of us.

Hard to imagine Chy-nah wouldn't prioritize that if they had leverage on the cretins in power here, which they surely do. Although maybe not. There is no reason to think that the US "justice" system, the media, either political party, or a meaningful % of the electorate will do anything, or care about whatever is revealed, WRT Biden crime family's crude, obvious, brazen corruption. So Beijing actually doesn't really have much leverage, possibly.

168 GRUESOME AND SAD: ‘I Just Want to Feel Like Myself,’ Tearfully Admits America’s Most Famous ‘Trans Kid’ Jazz Jennings.
_____

I unfortunately saw a clip of Jazz on one of the national morning shows. He sashayed and pranced on stage in imitation of a stripper to the applause of the NY studio audience (he was something like 10 years old or so at the time) and host Michael Strahan was grinning a gap toothed grin and gave him a standing ovation. I felt sick watching it, pity for the boy but also disgust because of the reception he got from the spectators. F'ing ghouls, all of them.

The problem is that national governments are pouring money and resources into developing it, because the consequences of NOT being the first to have it, should it ever work, would be catastrophic. So even though it's mostly theory right now, nobody is taking a chance.

Fortunately, they are not asked to write about that. They have to write personal essays about themselves. It's very easy to distinguish student writing from ChatGPT.

264 maybe we can discuss this later or tomorrow:

la times 1989:
Entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000, a senior U.N. environmental official said. Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of "ecological refugees,”" threatening political chaos, according to Noel Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program. He said that governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the so-called "greenhouse effect" before it goes beyond human control.

ny times today:
There is still one last chance to shift course, the new report says. But it would require industrialized nations to join together immediately to slash greenhouse gases roughly in half by 2030 and then stop adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere altogether by the early 2050s. If those two steps were taken, the world would have about a 50 percent chance of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

267 Craps:

The game begins with the player placing a bet on the outcome of the roll. The player can bet on either the "Pass Line" or the "Don't Pass Line." If the player bets on the Pass Line, they are betting that the shooter (the person rolling the dice) will roll a 7 or 11 on the first roll, which is known as a "natural." If the shooter rolls a 2, 3, or 12 on the first roll, it is known as "craps," and the player loses their bet. If the shooter rolls any other number on the first roll (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10), that number becomes the "point."

Once the point is established, the shooter continues to roll the dice until either the point number is rolled again (in which case the Pass Line bet wins), or a 7 is rolled (in which case the Pass Line bet loses). If the player bets on the Don't Pass Line, the opposite is true: the player is betting that the shooter will roll a 2, 3, or 12 on the first roll, or a 7 before the point is rolled again.

269 Craps continued:

Other bets can be made in addition to the Pass Line and Don't Pass Line bets, such as "Come" bets (which are similar to Pass Line bets but are placed after the point is established), "Don't Come" bets (which are similar to Don't Pass Line bets but are placed after the point is established), and various "place" and "hardway" bets (which involve betting on specific numbers or combinations of numbers).

272 >>>China Could Be Harvesting All of Your Personal Data Through TikTok -- Even If You Don't Use TikTok

I think this is incorrect. All of the scouring they are doing is not *through* TikTok. From the linked piece:

However, reports suggest that computer-based tools designed to collect data from publicly available sources can also collate extensive information on TikTok users -- as well as those on other networking apps. These Open Source Intelligence tools need no special access to apps. This raises questions that apply to all forms of social media.

Sure, they are scarfing up what they can from users of TikTok, but even if TikTok is shutdown tomorrow, their other data collection activity will remain unaffected.

319 He may have known about the people who were forced to labor on the production of the V-2 rocket.

I don't think we generally consider scientists who work on legitimate projects like rocket building to be criminals. Scientists that do certain types of testing on humans, like the Nazi cold weather and high altitude experiments are examples of illegitimate projects. Von Braun didn't do those sorts of experiments.
Posted by: bonhomme at March 21, 2023 06:36 PM (V1QHJ)

Would be my take on it, too. AFAIK, Von Braun was never charged with a war crime, although a case could have probably been made that he somehow benefited from the use of slave labor. But he really had no direct role in enslaving those people, and probably would have been disciplined by the Nazis if he bitched about it.

320 Von Braun didn't do those sorts of experiments.

-------

He undoubtedly knew about the large number of slaves in his facility.

There have been a lot of attempts by America historians to whitewash his culpability, for the obvious reasons. Including ludicrously trying to pretend he didn't know. But usually they go with "he only did it because he had no choice."

Also bullshit. He cared about one thing: rocketry. If the rockets needed infants' blood for fuel, he'd have drained them himself. Or had a slave do it. Whatevs.

It's one thing to turn a blind eye to his war crimes because of his value to our technological goals, but we shouldn't pretend they never happened.

325 In a non-casino setting, say in a back alley game, the person rolling the dice puts up money, the action, and the others bet against that money. Say the action is $20, another player will bet $10 for a piece of the action. If the shooter wins the roll, he wins the $10. If the shooter loses the roll, the other player wins $10 from the $20.

or so I've been told

Posted by: Aetius451AD Work Laptop at March 21, 2023 06:44 PM (zZu0s)

329 The game begins with the player placing a bet on the outcome of the roll. The player can bet on either the "Pass Line" or the "Don't Pass Line." If the player bets on the Pass Line, they are betting that the shooter (the person rolling the dice) will roll a 7 or 11 on the first roll, which is known as a "natural." If the shooter rolls a 2, 3, or 12 on the first roll, it is known as "craps," and the player loses their bet. If the shooter rolls any other number on the first roll (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10), that number becomes the "point."

Once the point is established, the shooter continues to roll the dice until either the point number is rolled again (in which case the Pass Line bet wins), or a 7 is rolled (in which case the Pass Line bet loses). If the player bets on the Don't Pass Line, the opposite is true: the player is betting that the shooter will roll a 2, 3, or 12 on the first roll, or a 7 before the point is rolled again.
Posted by: bonhomme at March 21, 2023 06:28 PM


On any given roll of 2 dice, your chances of rolling a 7 are 1 in 6. A 6 or 8, 5/36 each. A 5 or 9, 1 in 9 each, a 4 or 10 3/36 each, a 3 or 11 1 in 18 each, a 2 or 12, 1 in 36 each.

Cap doesn't age at the same rate as everyone else because of the formula anyway, so he shouldn't have been aged like that. They just wanted to retire him.
