Most important: Fundamental rights are violated because PII is transfered to a company in an unsecure noneuropean country. The server location doesn't count, it is about where the company deciding about the data resides, says @malteengeler. Tiktoks Headquarter: Beijing 🇨🇳
This are the PRIVACY problems with Tiktok. Last week Netzpolitik published detailed information about CENSORSHIP problems. Read this 3 articles starting here https://netzpolitik.org/2019/discrimination-tiktok-curbed-reach-for-people-with-disabilities/
So is it a good idea by Tagesschau to foster this system with videos paid by german households?
Und hier der Artikel für die Süddeutsche Zeitung in deutsch und untechnisch:

Thanks for all the positive comments. I transferred the thread to a blog post for more convenient reading.

@rufposten
jesus fucking christ, what layer of hell is this
(no this isn't my first time)
@rufposten well good thing i never used tiktok
@rufposten Thanks for your work and for revealing all this.
@rufposten I feel sorry for the generation for which being accepted implies using all these apps.
@rufposten I teach young students and TikTok is all the rage right now ... I have done work with my students (age:11) around privacy and data exploitation but your work here is an eye-opener beyond even that ... Thanks for sharing ... I need to continue my conversations with kids and parents ... Is there a single place where you have compiled your analysis? Or is it just in this thread?
@rufposten Good stuff. I'm posted in my newsletter here: https://www.downes.ca/post/70204

@rufposten ah yes, the best way to protect vulnerable people is to hide them from society, and not like, geez, idunno, speaking out in their support and making sure their needs are met
Channel operators may fall under joint controllership with Tiktok as the ECJ ruled for FB fanpages. A channel could be closed if Tiktok violates privacy. DPO of german public broadcaster NDR, Heiko Neuhoff told me, he will soon decide if this applies to the channel of Tagesschau.
