TikTok bo morda res ukinjen, a če že, za zdaj le v ZDA
TikTok may really be banned, but if so, for now only in the US
Written by Sonja Merljak Zdovc, translated by JL Flanner & G Translate
Med tiktokerji se je razširila novica, da bodo priljubljeno družbeno omrežje TikTok kar ukinili. Menda naj bi to zahteval predsednik Združenih držav Amerike Donald Trump.
News spread among tiktokers that the popular social network TikTok will be banned. Presumably, this was demanded by the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump.
Te je zaskrbelo, da ne boš več mogla spremljati priljubljenih tiktokerjev?
Worried that you won't be able to follow your favorite tiktokers anymore?
Brez skrbi. Donald Trump lahko vpliva le na dogajanje v Združenih državah Amerike.
No worries. Donald Trump can only influence what is happening in the United States.
Trump razmišlja, da bi TikTok ukinil, ker trdi, da ta ogroža nacionalno varnost, saj je TikTok v lasti kitajskega podjetja. Kitajska vlada naj bi tako imela dostop do številnih podatkov uporabnikov TikToka.
Trump is considering banning TikTok because he claims it threatens national security, as TikTok is owned by a Chinese company. The Chinese government is thus said to have access to the data from TikTok users.
Strokovnjaki pravijo, da ni čisto tako, je pa res, da so imeli v podjetju ByteDance težave z varovanjem podatkov in z varnostjo na spletu.
Experts say that's not quite the case, but it's true that ByteDance had problems with data protection and online security.
Res je tudi, da aplikacija zbira veliko podatkov. A tudi druga družbena omrežja zbirajo veliko podatkov, čeprav manj kot TikTok. In znano je, da tuje države zlorabljajo tudi Facebook in Twitter.
It’s also true that the app collects a lot of data. But other social networks also collect a lot of data, although less than TikTok. And it’s also known that foreign countries abuse Facebook and Twitter.
Kljub temu pa velja biti na nekaj stvari pozoren, če uporabljaš aplikacijo. Na TikToku se obnašaj, kot se v resničnem življenju.
However, there are a few things to keep in mind when using the app. On TikTok, behave like you do in real life.
Preveri nastavitve zasebnosti, denimo glede lokacije in dovoljenja za dostop do različnih osebnih podatkov.
Check your privacy settings, such as location and permission to access various personal information.
Ne verjemi vsemu, kar vidiš, in novice raje preveri v verodostojnih medijih za otroke, ki jim lahko zaupaš, denimo v Časorisu.
Don’t believe everything you see, and rather check the news in credible media for kids you can trust, like in Časoris.
