TikTok released a transparency report (country-wise breakdown of request for information/takedown). China not on the list. What's your estimate (0-100%) of the reliability/quality/honesty of the data? https://t.co/SEurm4rFPP pic.twitter.com/pdgXtJVwnJ

In other news, recent transparency report of bank loans finds that most requests for bank loans come from non-bank-owners, while by far the fewest requests for bank loans from from the owners of the bank. https://t.co/8eoo5T1PsD

Curious, I’d love to see the RAW data https://t.co/MdwuRgJpHQ
The entire platform is a request from China for information. https://t.co/Azx37p4mN0

Your regular reminded that TikTok has a China-only version of the app called Douyin which is heavily censored https://t.co/UHf9nHugXJ

When the Chinese government literally controls the app, they don't need to put in "requests" for content takedown or user information.

The Chinese government would have been far better off including a number that was on par with Western governments - might have been believable. https://t.co/WVCm42E4aX

Feels fitting to end 2019 with a final article on TikTok: https://t.co/ay3vmuIvOJ

Not surprising. Why would there need to be requests for user data or takedowns when Tik Tok is preemptively blocking content China would deem objectionable? https://t.co/4nddvF1SAb

Don't need a takedown request when you have root? https://t.co/ZtX5R06slS

Interesting figures from TikTok. Surprisingly, German authorities made the most requests for user information in Europe. Still, this pales in comparison to request from India & U.S. According to the figures, China made no requests? https://t.co/XLbKLUQFdR

TikTok removed an account from its platform after being asked by the UK government last year - would be fascinated to know which one (and why) https://t.co/5yVKeV1740

The Army is banning TikTok bc it’s a “cyberthreat,” following DOD advisory and Navy move to do the same — the app is owned by a Chinese tech co that has ties w the gov / must abide by Chinese laws, raising concerns it could help China spy. @CyberScoopNews https://t.co/Od5pVkeOED
