swodinsky eric_seufert SG can't allow something like evidence to stop him from creating a fancy narrative where that would be more fun.

swodinsky eric_seufert lol wait is the core of their argument that TikTok has fancy unique tracking that ... it has a in-app browser?!
-
swodinsky eric_seufert And the only white hat people on the record will only say that the code is complicated and obscured... *Real* fishy. Legit White Hat researchers basically operate entirely on record and by publishing stuff in public. It feels a little like someone is taking The Wrap for a ride.

swodinsky eric_seufert I mean, I'm sure TikTok's in-app browser is invasive as fk but so are *all* of them. I'm not sure I lend a lot of credibility to the idea that TikTok is doing something uniquely sketchy here without seeing the actual studies.

swodinsky eric_seufert And ... this is from an unpublished summary of an unpublished study from Jan 2021 that is only being reported on over a year later? Yeah... while I'm sure TikTok is doing creepy bs tracking, I'm not going to assume it's more than everyone else is without better evidence.

swodinsky eric_seufert Oh jeez and then he uses... *market cap* as the core of his argument that TikTok is the threat... that is an entirely mad up popularity contest number with basically zero relevance to operations beyond the size of the loan a company can take out...
