And those people will turn around and cry about privacy issues. The cycle repeats...
No one on TikTok cares about privacy
he does ☞ https://www.tiktok.com/@mor10web
Not clicking that link, but the mere fact of having an account there means you don't care about your privacy IMO.
i don't have an account "there"
i see that you like making assumptions, now, please tell me what we can assume about you after your comment above knowing that it's false
check these if you care, while you think ☞ https://mor10.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@mor10web https://github.com/mor10
I don't think he meant YOU specifically.
would have been clearer then?
and in that case, we can say that for mor10, as an educator, reach is probably more important than strict privacy
@mor10@front-end.social ?
I meant the user on TikTok, I used "you" in a general sense. I apologize that wasn't clear.
And after a quick review of the links you posted (<5 min), it looks like he's more a software design and ethics enthusiast than a privacy advocate. The fact that he has no privacy-friendly platforms on their website and the only ones listed are perhaps the worst for personal privacy (LinkedIn and TikTok) makes me more confident that my assessment is correct.
It's certainly not conclusive though, since other privacy advocates also tend to have accounts at those places (e.g. Naomi Brockwell has IG and Twitter (hasn't updated to X lol) in addition to TikTok, LinkedIn, and YT, but she also has Odyssey, which is a step in the right direction. She's looking for maximum reach, and her content is almost exclusively about privacy. I would prefer that she also have PeerTube, Matrix, etc, but she's targeting a specific demographic here.
So yeah, idk, but it definitely seems that privacy isn't nearly as important to him as software ethics, and those are very different (though related) things.
Most of them are joking about reuniting with their Chinese spy
Right? The tech-user bubble is funny, sometimes. The average TikTok user couldn't care less about privacy, they care about having an app that delivers the experience they want. The reason many aren't going to Instagram reels and Youtube shorts is because their algorithms and content are awful.
Similar vibes as "Why are Twitter users going to Bluesky and not Mastodon? Are they stupid?"
