What a TikTok Ban Would Mean for the U.S. Defense of an Open Internet

  • Yes, I know about that. But why is US limiting technological advancements in China? (By banning GPUs / companies).

    I don't see China doing the same.

  • Then How is Google different? From my view, It also manipulates search results.

    I don't understand what US problem with China is.

    Note: I am not an American nor a Chinese. I have never used tiktok before. I am just an outsider trying to get a perspective.

  • I have infinix Hot 30. At least they allow bootloader unlocking which is becoming rare these days.

  • I am not a gamer but even I enjoyed portal.

    • Are there any adb commands to block specific apps from accessing mobile data/wifi or in general network acesss?

    Jump

  • Just remove as much permissions as possible. If you want more control rooting is still "the choice". BTW Banking apps can work with root if that's the concern.

    If you don't want root. Use a custom ROM like graphene(if your device is supported) or voltageos(if your device is not supported by graphene)

    • You can't revoke android.permission.INTERNET at runtime. You can only revoke at install time. Since you don't have root you can't revoke that permission.
    • Did you check settings? There is an option to remove background data access from an app.

  • No, if you have another launcher installed with quickswitch support (like Lawnchair). Then you will be fine.

    Note: QuickSwitch requires root. It's for gestures and navigation support.

    • When people post YouTube links, is there a cool open source way to watch it on mobile without going through youtube, firefox, or downloading adblockers?

    Jump

  • Libretube, tubular, newpipe, etc.

    • Permanently Deleted

  • I think AppImage is also an option.
