What are your thoughts on his open criticism of TikTok? https://t.co/nK5AMoVWSd
Reddit CEO on TikTok: “Because I look at that app as so fundamentally parasitic, that it’s always listening, the fingerprinting technology they use is truly terrifying, and I could not bring myself to install an app like that on my phone.” https://t.co/1fAeL2ta6u

In my newsletter, I talk a lot about the cross-hatching, the ability to hold two very disparate realities in your mind at the same time. It takes a strong cross-hatch to criticize Tik Tok while making your entire site unusable due to enormous JS loads. https://t.co/HpUYcoMdmj

Well, he can say the same thing about his own app and very much all apps really. Every app does some kind of privacy-invading tracking which is why you should reduce your reliance on apps if possible and use a browser. https://t.co/lGjltRhdwZ
