简评:

移动互联网应用是跨国界的,中共通过如抖音、微信、Zoom等移动互联网应用软件巧妙的把中共主权加到别国境内,收集用户隐私数据,进行内容审查,通过算法引导用户塑造其世界观,进而影响选举变、相干涉他国政治。中共的情报法要求所有中共国境内的企业都必须为中共收集情报,所以抖音在世界范围内收集数据是符合中共法律的。中共的这一恶法是对其他国家法律的直接践踏,极其邪恶。任何国家幻想中共不会收集用户数据,或者不会使用用户数据做非法的事情都是非常幼稚的。保护国家主权、军事安全、消费者隐私就必须禁止使用这些中共国的应用,正如要保证网络的安全就必须彻底移除华为的设备是一样的道理。与中共国移动互联网应用彻底脱钩刻不容缓。

China-Controlled ‘TikTok’ Is ‘Data Collection Service Thinly-Veiled As A Social Network’… Delete It Now

中共国控制的“ TikTok”是“伪装成社交媒体软件的数据收集服务”……现在就删除它

JUST SIX WEEKS AGO, THE NATIONAL PULSE EXPLAINED HOW THE POPULAR SOCIAL MEDIA APP TIKTOK WAS ULTIMATELY CONTROLLED BY THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY. WE RECOMMENDED YOU AND YOUR FAMILY DELETE IT. MORE RECENT REVELATIONS HAVE SINCE INTENSIFIED SUSPICIONS REGARDING THE APP.

就在六周前,《国家脉动》解释了抖音这个流行的社交媒体应用是如何被中共最终控制的。 我们建议您和您的家人删除它。自从该应用程序的嫌疑增多以来,已有更多的相关披露。

While young, American users continue to use the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-controlled app to agitate against America, they’re also handing a treasure trove of data over to the app developers without knowing it.

当年轻的美国用户孩子继续使用由中国共产党(CCP)控制的应用来煽动反美的同时,他们还将大量的数据移交给了应用开发者,而他们却对此一无所知。

Upon Apple’s beta release of their latest mobile operating system – iOS 14 – experts began to note one a new notification.

苹果公司发布最新的手机操作系统iOS 14的Beta版之后,专家们开始注意到其中一项新的通知。

When a user goes to “copy and paste,” a number of apps can see what they’ve just copied. Sometimes this is legitimate, such as when a browser needs to login with a password copied from a password manager app.

当用户用“复制和粘贴”时,许多应用程序可以读取他们刚刚复制的内容。 有时这是合法的,例如当浏览器需要使用从密码管理器应用中复制的密码登录时。

But users of the beta discovered that TikTok was one of the worst offenders, constantly monitoring the clipboard, where copied data is temporarily stored.

但是该Beta版的用户发现抖音是最严重的违规者之一,不断监视暂时保存复制数据的剪贴板。

TikTok – owned by China’s ByteDance – released a statement claiming it was just an innocent mistake:

“For TikTok, this was triggered by a feature designed to identify repetitive, spammy behavior. We have already submitted an updated version of the app to the App Store removing the anti-spam feature to eliminate any potential confusion. TikTok is committed to protecting users’ privacy and being transparent about how our app works.”

Users were unimpressed.

抖音 - 中共国字节跳动公司(ByteDance)所拥有的公司 - 发表声明称这只是一个无辜的错误:

“对于抖音来说,这是由用来识别重复性垃圾邮件行为的功能触发的。 我们已经向苹果应用商店提交了该应用程序的更新版本,其中删除了反垃圾邮件功能,以消除任何潜在的混淆。 抖音致力于保护用户的隐私并透明地展示我们的应用程序的工作方式。”

用户对此不为所动。

“Guys, I’m starting to think TikTok doesn’t care too much about data privacy,” wrote Reddit user dualpear in the highest voted comment on the story.

“伙计们,我开始认为抖音不太关心数据隐私,” Reddit用户dualpear在对该故事的最高投票中这样写道。

“If someone with TikTok installed has ever copied/pasted a password, China has it,” wrote user beehive4.

用户beehive4写道:“如果安装了抖音的人曾经复制/粘贴过密码,那么中共国就拥有这个密码。”

Another Reddit user, bangorlol, claimed to have reversed engineered the iOS TikTok app and was alarmed at what he found.

另一个Reddit用户bangorlol声称对iOS 抖音应用程序进行了逆向工程,并对自己发现的内容感到震惊。

“TikTok is a data collection service that is thinly-veiled as a social network. If there is an API to get information on you, your contacts, or your device… well, they’re using it.”

“ 抖音是一个数据收集服务,它只是以一个社交网络应用做掩护而已。 如果有一个应用程序接口(API)可以获取有关您、您的联系人、或设备的信息,那么他们正在使用这些信息。”

After going through his findings in detail, he concluded: “I’m a nerd who figures out how apps work for a job. Calling it an advertising platform is an understatement. TikTok is essentially malware that is targeting children. Don’t use TikTok. Don’t let your friends and family use it.”

在详细研究了他的发现之后,他得出这样的结论:“我是一个书呆子,想搞明白应用程序是如何工作的。 称抖音为广告平台太过于轻描淡写了。 抖音本质上是针对儿童的恶意软件。 不要使用抖音。 不要让您的朋友和家人使用它。”

TIKTOK IS INSTALLED ON MILLIONS OF DEVICES ACROSS AMERICA TIKTOK安装在全美数百万台设备上。

As previously reported, the US Department of Defense has advised the military to ban the app from government-issued devices.

如先前报道的,美国国防部已建议军方禁止在政府发行的设备中使用该应用。

But TikTok remains popular in the United States, sitting at #1 on the Top Free App Chart in the iOS App Store at the time of writing. The app has been downloaded 165 million times in the U.S. alone, as of April 2020.

但是抖音在美国仍然很受欢迎,在撰写本文时,它在苹果应用商店的“顶级免费应用程序榜”上排名第一。 截至2020年4月,仅在美国,该应用已被下载了1.65亿次。

Now other nations are going further than America to protect data, children, and the nation.

现在,其他国家在保护数据、儿童和国家方面比美国更强硬。

Last Monday the government of India banned 59 Chinese-made apps, including TikTok, over concerns that these apps threatened the national security and sovereignty of India. This is a huge blow to TikTok, for whom India is the second-largest market.

上周一,印度政府禁止了包括抖音在内的59个中共国的应用程序,原因是担心这些应用程序威胁着印度的国家安全和主权。 这对抖音来说是一个巨大的打击,印度是抖音的第二大市场。

India previously restricted TikTok in April over concerns that it allowed predators to groom children, but later reversed the order. Geopolitical tensions between India and China appears to have triggered the latest crackdown.

印度此前曾在4月份就对抖音进行了限制,原因是担心它为掠夺者笼络儿童提供方便,但后来印度又撤销了该命令。 印度和中国之间的地缘政治紧张局势似乎引发了最近的镇压中共国应用程序的行动(禁止59款应用)。

Not only does this ban keep TikTok away from Indian consumers, it leaves 2,000 employees based in India in limbo.

这项禁令不仅使印度消费者远离了抖音,这使抖音在印度的2,000名员工陷入了困境。

Former Disney streaming director Kevin Mayer took over as TikTok CEO at the beginning of June and is now under pressure to respond to the ban. The head of TikTok’s office in India, Nikhil Gandhi, released a statement claiming that they do not steal or share user data. “We place the highest importance on user privacy and integrity,” he wrote.

迪士尼前流媒体总监凯文·梅耶尔(Kevin Mayer)于6月初接任抖音首席执行官,他现在正面临来自禁令的压力。 抖音印度办事处负责人Nikhil Gandhi发表声明,声称他们不会窃取或共享用户数据。 他写道:“我们高度重视用户的隐私和完整性。”

Indian users seem to have taken this statement as seriously as their counterparts in the United States – “Boycott China” was trending on Indian Twitter this week.

印度用户似乎已经像美国用户一样认真对待这一声明,“抵制中共国”这一周在印度Twitter上风靡一时。

THAT’S A LOT OF COMPROMISED DEVICES…那是一大堆残缺的设备...

Mainstream social media has declared war on conservatives throughout the United States and the world. Even worse than blatant censorship, however, is the subtle ways in which the algorithms that decide what you see can affect your view of the world.

主流社交媒体已向美国和全世界的保守派宣战。 但是比公然的审查制度更糟糕的是这个微妙方式,即用计算法决定您所看到的内容以影响您的世界观。

New users to TikTok start off as a blank slate.

对抖音来说新用户起初是一张白纸。

As they watch videos, the algorithm behind the app learns their preferences, and soon only recommends videos it thinks they will like. TikTok’s algorithm has been praised for its accuracy in determining what its users want to see. These algorithms, which are fine-tuned by engineers in the company, can shape a person’s perspective.

当他们(用户)观看视频时,应用程序后面的计算法会掌握他们的偏好,并很快只推荐计算法认为用户会喜欢的视频。 抖音的计算法因在确定用户希望看到的内容方面的准确性而受到赞誉。 这些计算法是经过公司工程师的精心调整的,可以塑造一个人的观点。

Imagine seeing only positive videos about one political cause while only negative videos about another. Imagine the algorithm reminding left-wing users to go out and vote on Election Day but showing right-wing users nothing but videos of puppies and kittens. This is the truly insidious part of Big Tech censorship.

想象一下, 只看到关于一个政治目标的正面视频, 同时只看到关于另一个政治目标的负面视频。想象一下,该计算法提醒左翼用户在选举日出去投票,但只向右翼用户展示小狗和小猫的视频。这是大技术审查中真正阴险的部分。

We already know that American social media companies are censoring conservatives in this election year. Why should we allow a company that is ultimately beholden to the Chinese Communist Party to shape the way we see the world?

我们已经知道美国的社交媒体公司在今年的选举年中正在审查保守派。 我们为什么要允许一个最终效忠中国共产党的公司来塑造我们看待世界的方式呢?

China has no problem engaging in propaganda, and it is naïve to think they would ignore such a massive weapon in the information war.

中共认为进行宣传没有问题。所以,认为中共在信息战中会忽视这个庞大的武器(抖音收集数据),这些想法是天真的。

If you haven’t already deleted TikTok from your family’s devices: now is the time.

如果你尚未从家人的设备中删除抖音:现在是时候了。

They have been proven to collect your data and send it to servers in China. They have been proven to spy on the way you use other apps on your phones and tablets. They have been proven to censor videos that do not align with their political values. They aim to shape your worldview into a narrow perspective.

抖音已经被证明他们(中共)可以收集您的数据并将其发送到中共国的服务器。 抖音已经被证明他们可以监视您在手机和平板电脑上怎样使用其它应用程序。 抖音已经被证明他们可以审查与他们的政治价值观不符的视频。他们旨在将您的世界观塑造成一个狭窄的视角。

Do not give them that opportunity – delete TikTok today.

不要给他们(中共)机会-今天就删除抖音。
