Casually was scrolling through social media when I saw @npub1j6x…ef8k rant about Last Pass, poetic timing I guess to wake up to this: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/lastpass-says-12-hour-outage-caused-by-bad-chrome-extension-update/

Agreed, I just saw a long rant on linkedin from the devs on a user's post that was just happy to start their de-googleing journey, it was a terrific example on how NOT to promote your "product". Respect works both ways they seem to not understand that.

It's rubbing me the wrong way that certain OS developers go into other people's posts and criticize the user's choice; telling them their choice is not wise because, they didn't choose them. @npub1j6x…ef8k has talked a lot about it before, but now I am starting to see more aggressive commentary on social media from their PR group. Too bad that their whole campaign is just discrediting other people's work. If they want to advocate security, then create civilized discussion.

I find the article failed to even touch on the topic of what happens if you open the app on pc browser only, (leaving aside how unusable it is sometimes), what happens if you "need" to be on the platform as Chief already mentioned, and what security precautions you can take if you "need" to be on the platform to non tech/security savvy users. The article took a phone/tablet app centrist approach and sometimes it felt the article played the fear card more than the informative card.
I am not defending TikTok by any means but as a privacy advocate I feels it failed to create a compelling case outside of fear of the "communist" giant.
