In short, this is a Kesari of Ladakh! But enough about India! Here, is the detailed information about China. China is the biggest superpower in Asia if not in the world. They have everything. They have technology, money & people. In short, China is powerful and nobody messes with it. Not even the USA & not even Russia. We have a bully constantly eyeing our land. In 1962, China wanted to teach India a lesson. May be it has something to do with Tibet........ And the HH Dalai Lama taking refuge in India! This is our independent India........ This part of Jammu and Kashmir was already taken away by our beloved neighbours. And China's troops were marching in from here. The problem is India never expected that China would attack. But How long could we be? On 18th November 1962 6,000 Chinese troops entered Rezangla a mountain pass just a little ahead of everyone's favourite Pangong lake. it was winter time with sub zero temperature.

Is Tiktok Safe?
How does Tiktok know your location?
Few weeks ago Tiktok application crossed 1 billion downloads on Google Play Store that means one seventh of the world population is using Tik tok!
Right now I want to share with you something very dangerous that I discovered about Tik tok.
Today I was feeling very adventurous! So I downloaded Tik tok.
Then I realised something weird! When you try to record something the app asks for permissions. This is common in almost all the apps! But my problem is with something that Tik tok doesn't ask her permission for and it still has access for it!
'That's your location'!.
You can check it yourself!
Firstly,
1 : Go to settings app permissions.
2 : Search Tiktok.
You can analyze that location is not mentioned anywhere!
I tried to specify my preferences. I selected English videos only. Yet I saw hindi and marathi videos.
How does Tiktok know your location?
Just as a precaution I turned my location off.
Just after apps like Google map and Aarogya Setu App won't even work if you don't access to location.
If you want to cheat your location, there is a simple trick called a VPN!
(Virtual Private Network).
When I accessed my phone with VPN and I have changed my location to the US on YouTube all the ads I am getting over there is from US. That's what I have successfully tricked YouTube!
The weird parties if I go to Tik tok now I can see the same videos!
Even you can experience it by yourself.
How is Tik tok doing this?
Official privacy policy! Tik tok is using the data from your sim card. The information is going directly from the SIM!
Are you understanding how Sinister this is!
Taking your regional information directly from the SIM don't you think that this is a overkill for a video sharing app.
THE WORST PART IS THATS NO WARNING ABOUT IT!
The app just say that information is collected automatically.
After discovering this, I read the complete privacy policy of Tik tok!
And I found some objectionable points there.....
If you link any other social media platform with Tiktok then Tik tok can use the information to know your location.
Tiktok uses http-server for delivering the contents that is this servers are not secured. Tiktok doesn't uses the https the encrypted secured servers. And this http servers can be hacked!
The biggest problem with Tiktok is artificial intelligency!
Bytedance the parent company of Tik tok it is an artificial intelligence company!
The real product is not a platform! Their real product is their Algorithm.
China wants to be a superpower using AI by 2030.
What does a computer understand best?
0 and 1
Binary and that's what you feel when you use Tik tok!
Whenever you are watching Tik tok you are taking a survey. You are constantly feeling information to the computer.
All of this information is going to China!
Artificial intelligence changes the game of a computer which decides what you should watch and because there is no such option platform controls what you get to watch and this is a big problem!
China enacted a law in 2017 where if you are a Chinese company then you have to share the data you collected with the Chinese Government. Because of this Indian ministry of defence directed the forces to uninstall 42 Chinese apps from that phone.
India does not have a proper Data Protection Act. We ourselves need to be extra safe. China doesn't have freedom of press. The Government controls the media.
Syria, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Somalia.
Even these countries rank higher than China and all these restrictions are applied to the users of these Chinese apps as well!
By using these Chinese apps we are supporting China's version of the internet privacy on the internet is a myth. Whenever we use any free product we are the product and data is our currency.
Should you delete Tik tok? Or any other App?
If you have Chinese apps on your phone's then don't use UPI or any other netbanking apps there. When creating an account don't use Google to Sign in. Create a new account and use a different password.
Cyber theft, identity theft data leaks are real.
Keep changing your passwords and keep your emails safe.
You can use haveibeenpwned.com to know whether your details have been breached in data leaks.
Everything comes for cost!
