But following media reports, it has also admitted that China-based employees had access to US users’ data, although the company insisted it was under strict and highly limited circumstances.

Employees of ByteDance might be Chinese, but they don't work for the government. They work for ByteDance. I haven't found anyone claiming to have proof that data in US citizens has left the company. Just fears that it could.

There is concern that ByteDance may be giving the Chinese government access to data on US citizens. It's worth noting that no proof of this actually happening has surfaced.

Mostly because of this. TikTok is the app collecting massive amounts of data on its users with dubious intent and questionable security that is currently being scapegoated, and discord is on the long list of popular apps that collect massive amounts of data their users with dubious intent and questionable security that we are not scapegoating.

Don't ruin your own experience because someone else is enjoying it differently than you like to

That's helpful information, they both look like they've got good pedigrees. I'm a bit surprised that none of the normal fact and bias checker sites have anything for Drop Site.

I don't quite understand the down votes here: Israel is a topic with lots of strong opinions, and basic good media literacy is to do research on sources you don't recognize. There's been a lot of shoddy journalism to get clicks out there, and one should be critical of the information they ingest. The Ground News bot is a good thing.

I'm having trouble finding any kind of credibility grading for this source

A lot of fridges are made to go both ways. You have to attach the handle and the hinge when you get it. A lot of fridges will have two plugs on the other side to cover the unused bolt holes

Yeah, this sounds like a good prank: it messes with their muscle memory, but it's otherwise harmless

It's the copy and paste thing support posts or says every fucking times you try and talk to them. I guess the down voters think I'm pro this weird act they do to make it feel like you have control of your data.
