Misinformation was rife as the wildfires spread across Los Angeles last month, and that wasn’t just happening in English language media. For @thexylom, Aorui Pi explains how platforms like WeChat and RedNote served as a vector for fake news, which may have made life harder for Chinese immigrants living in fire-affected areas.

> any kind of "everything app" should be seen as captivity

When I lived in China I found I couldn't socially exist without their everything app; WeChat. Even putting aside the privacy horrorshow, the power TenCent have because every other company effectively has to transact through WC is terrifying.

When FarceBook tried to do the Libra/ Diem payment integration, it was obvious who they were emulating. Very glad it failed.

TikTok, AliExpress & Co liefern europäische Daten an China aus.

Nach zwei erfolgreichen Anfechtungen des #Datentransferabkommen's zwischen den #USA und der #EU nehmen wir nun chinesische #TechUnternehmen genauer unter die Lupe: Mitte Januar haben wir Beschwerden gegen #TikTok, #AliExpress, #SHEIN, #Temu, #WeChat und #Xiaomi wegen unrechtmäßiger #Datentransfer's nach #China eingereicht.

Es gibt genügend Gründe, sich Sorgen über die Übermittlung persönlicher ..

"Today, noyb has filed GDPR complaints against TikTok, AliExpress, SHEIN, Temu, WeChat and Xiaomi for unlawful data transfers to China. While four of them openly admit to sending Europeans’ personal data to China, the other two say that they transfer data to undisclosed “third countries”. As none of the companies responded adequately to the complainants’ access requests, we have to assume that this includes China. But EU law is clear: data transfers outside the EU are only allowed if the destination country doesn’t undermine the protection of data. Given that China is an authoritarian surveillance state, companies can’t realistically shield EU users’ data from access by the Chinese government. After issues around US government access, the rise of Chinese apps opens a new front for EU data protection law."

I was in China a while back, and found whilst there, that state monitoring of phone, app and Web activities did not seem to bother anyone I had encountered. Some were even a little bemused I was reluctant to use #WeChat as it basically is an app that covers everything.
It occurred to me that these days, Chinese citizens are maybe better off. They know who is collecting their data, and largely to what end. To be honest, we've no fucking idea the full extent of what #meta #google #Microsoft and the 357 3rd Party Advertising Partners are doing with our data.

Die Dimension dass Musk gerade irrsinnig Serverkapazität kauft um seine #xAI fit zu machen de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.AI und dieses Jahr auch als Zahlungsdienstleister startet und seit 2022 schon belegtermaßen davon sprich dass die Überwachungskrake #WeChat aus China DAS Vorbild für ihn sei um alle user genau zu tracken, social scores zu grnerieren usw... Aha, Das muss diese beschworene #Meinungsfreiheit sein. K.a. wie valide das Video ist aber schon denkbar dass es so kommt!? x.com/stridentcitizen/status/1

@ComputerBase das ist alles so furchtbar. 2025 dann noch als Zahlungsdienstleister am start, dann hat #musk alles beisammen um das von ihm selbst genannte Vorbild #WeChat mitsamt von socialscore systemen auszurollen. Und die #afd Leute freuen und feiern ihn immernoch für die tolle Meinungsfreiheit die dieser Wahnsinn (nicht) bringen wird. Verdammte ***
