此外，抖音還會審查有關中國的負面資訊。抖音公司稱他們已經更新了審查準則，不再提及具體的國家和事件，但無論公司官方怎麼說，其審查意圖是明確的。使用抖音就意味著接受了其壓制言論自由和侵犯用戶私隱的做法。和朋友一起唱歌跳舞可能很有趣，但別錯誤地認為這一切是沒有代價的。

2. Less Hype, More Fun
When it comes to privacy, TikTok worries me no more than U.S. social-media apps do. Mobile apps live in what technologists call a “sandbox.” Unlike apps on your computer, which have access to the whole machine, mobile apps can only view a limited portion of your data—the parts to which users give it access, such as your contacts. Sometimes they exceed the user agreements in certain limited ways, but deleting TikTok out of anxiety that the Chinese are reading your private text messages is irrational.
