If you live long enough, you will know most ideas are rehash of previous ones with increased complexity and different driving force culturally.
To be fair, I think TikTok was to some extent a Vine clone.
It was created literally couple of months before Vine's shutdown. Perfect timing for them.
In convinced tiktok is the chinese face recognition DB for the CCP
if it’s a Chinese controlled company then company db == government db. They just passed legislation entitling the gov to access all encryption keys didn’t they?
As did the USA, see the 2018 CLOUD Act.
why does there always have to be a deflecting “what about”-ism with literally everything any one says here?
I can speak for anyone else, but for me its becuase double standards are infinitely worse than what-aboutery.
Maybe, but it definitely innovated where Vine stagnated and failed. The use of music, as well as other formats such as duets, and also the machine learning feed. Also, they relaxed the super strict 7s limit which helps quite a bit.
