Clemson isn’t private, it’s public. It is certainly their prerogative to secure their network and their users’ data but there are definitely concerns over government censorship. I don’t think this issue is as black and white as people ITT are making it out to be and absent a larger policy stance that would van TikTok or it’s practices, I’m not sure this is the right move though I understand their position given the inaction of state and national legislatures in banning foreign spyware
They’re not banning their students from using tiktok, they’re blocking access to a website on their own networks. That is how network security works. I have many IP addresses block for many customers because some website shouldn’t be accessed on networks with PII. It’s really not that complicated.
Because the only reason to bsn TikTok are racist reasons. Their practices have been examined closely and found to be less invasive than they rest. And Facebook, they’re horrible.
The reasons usually given are mumbled generalities but refer to China getting access to American citizen data.
“China” seems to be the common theme.
The very data for sale on the open market. It’s all bullshit.
I’m not defending TikTok and certainly not Chinese govt practices. They do evil. But no evidence of it in this instance.
It’s weird to think that you would support banning TikTok because of the influence China might have on US Culture, but are totally cool with the fact that Facebook is a tool of cultural export across the whole globe. I don’t remember the last time TikTok was the instrument of genocide, but hey, if you want to support that, go for it.
I’m not following. Can you elaborate a bit on how a private university banning TikTok is fascism?

Is it also racist that China has banned Facebook and many other US based services?

That would be weird yes, luckily my opinions differ from the ones you’re projecting onto me
