us military uses tiktok for fun from what ive seen. https://www.tiktok.com/search?q=military&t=1683997954279

i know these probably just look like "fun videos" and most are likely of no consequence, but my guess is some of the military footage submitted on there is recent and potentially not in the interest of US national defense.

That's what goes into an honest appraisal of an attack surface: What's the value of gaining that data?

the value of china gaining that info is immeasurable. specifically, what im saying we are underestimating the amount and value of the data even this one example provides to china. That was just one search

"immeasurable"

okay for example. weapon/equipment types, base locations, squad sizes, army morale, etc.. Does that not make sense? You can glean a lot from those videos. I cant possibly name every one

You can name a single event where it made a difference.

those videos are public regardless of who is the owner
