> An OPSEC violation has once again made a case for why using TikTok should be a punishable offense in the military

This could have happened with literally any social media platform.

Yet the consequences demanded out of this apparently solely focus on "Chinese government-affiliated platform" and how people in the military should be punished for merely using it.

How is that gonna fix the actual problem? Right, it wouldn't, even with TikTok banned from the phones of all military personnel, they have literally dozens of alternatives with which they can do the very same OPSEC oopsie.



That’s the rhetoric. They’re not stupid. They probably already have many measures but they’ll take a serious look at preventing all cellphones from entering the compound now.

Publicly they’ll condemn Tiktok.


Its pretty simple really. Just issue the phones with a custom OS that will instantly corrupt the application if it is installed.
