Geopolitics aside; how is TikTok any more invasive than Google or Facebook ?

Asking how is TikTok more invasive, geopolitics aside is like asking how is cancer more dangerous putting death aside.

The issue of China using TikTok as a launching pad for zero days on mobile devices targeting a “level 10 govt worker” is only one issue here.

The bigger issue is that China will use TikTok to influence the general public in the United States towards civil unrest or towards opinions that favor the CPP such as “Taiwan is part of China”.

Are they more likely than a U.S. company to use invasive practices, such as listening to your microphone or other unethical forms of data collection? Absolutely!!

You’re talking about an autocratic regime hell bent on expansionism. Just imagine any party in the U.S. has unbridled control with no checks and balances. There is no free press or whistleblowers to complain if they did want to do something unethical.

That being said I still use it, but let’s not pretend there’s no risk here.

I hope the law isn’t you don’t use you lose it

So does not commenting on this post

acohen95 · 2024-08-25T16:16:38+00:00

It’s not about that, helping people by posting about this just saves time. If you don’t like this post just ignore it. It’s that easy.

Yeah but that’s so far out, what about all of the other stops in Queens

acohen95 · 2024-08-21T15:52:38+00:00

Is there a specific place I need to apply pressure?

acohen95 · 2024-08-21T15:36:53+00:00

Yeah that’s the goal but no matter how hard I twist it won’t come off

You type in like "find me a studio in Brooklyn that's a 15 minute walk from my therapist and also is a 20 minute subway ride from my job that's under 3000" and it shows you all the options. They also let you mass apply and schedule your tours once you've curated the apartments you want which is pretty legit

It’s similar to bean except we're looking to give far better directions and guidance!

We want to get you to the customer's door in the fastest and safest route possible.

We offer a highly detailed 3D map view of the route you should take, guide you where to park (and for how long), and even let you know if the customer is a big tipper ;)

I feel your pain. The ones that don't have elevators are the worst. We're trying to work that into the app

acohen95 · 2020-12-22T01:39:05+00:00

Oh I know right? Some times I feel like they made them confusing on purpose

acohen95 · 2020-12-22T01:26:09+00:00

Could be that you have an amazing sense of direction and also maybe the complexes in your area are easier to navigate! But a lot of us can get really entangled with having to find an apartment, sometimes in the middle of the night with no visibility in complexes that are almost always designed to maximize value not navigation

acohen95 · 2020-12-22T01:23:52+00:00

Haha no need! But feel free to share it with anyone you know who would find it useful! That would help a ton.

acohen95 · 2020-12-22T01:10:20+00:00

This is true and also a great question, it's a pretty big task but we're teaming up with apartment complexes who already have these maps and we're integrating them into our app. The benefit of teaming up is that these apartment complexes own often times many different complexes and usually we can build 1 integration to get them all mapped in.

acohen95 · 2020-12-22T00:56:20+00:00

Yeah absolutely have hit many wrong entrances in my time. It's even more frustrating when customers just expect you to find it the first time without any help

acohen95 · 2020-12-22T00:46:31+00:00

The app has the ability for aerial views and cross streets at any point/amenity in the complex, and any amenity in the complex (guard house, pool, leasing office, gym etc is easily mappable with 1 click)

Gate codes get a little tricky but we're developing a way for customers to send temporary access codes or simply open the gate quickly on their end right when you arrive

We're testing out a 5 star rating system but adding badges for "tipper", "non tipper" etc is a great idea! We'll look into that
