WOJ BOMB and his impact in social media
DC 12.12AM
Shift of exploring social media in the US. Because his rival [Shams Charania] was late by around 10-12 minutes about a gigantic - unexpected deal [Damian Lillard to Bucks], Adrian Wojnarowski already racked up 46 million views [in 10 hours] just for 1 tweet / 1 post of his twitter / X account. For comparison, the same context on Shams’ tweet about this trade, only got 12 million views in 10 hours. Shams even was blunder on trade-deal information [then he deleted]. His [Woj] news literally [woj]bomb because in last 10 months, Damian rumor is going to Miami Heat, not Milwaukee Bucks. 46 Million is around 1/7 entire U.S. population [335 million].
Woj's previous record is, ….. When Woj reported that Harden got traded from Houston Rockets to Brooklyn Nets years ago. Overall, he got 42 million views on X / Twitter for reporting Harden trade, and in just 30 minutes, Woj’s tweeted / posted [about Harden] got 15 million views.
In the Damian trade hours ago, Woj got 21 million views in his tweet / x, just 1 tweet / posted in x, IN 30 MINUTES.
In Instagram [a Facebook / meta group], 1 feed of Woj about Damian’s trade already got 342,822 likes in 10 hours.
But Adrian admits he sometimes forgot that he has a THREADS account, also a Facebook / META company - product. He just using THREADS around 11.39 pm DC time [56 minutes ago], and so far get 98 replies in THREADS.
Today, around 1.53pm DC time, just minutes after respected journalist Adrian Wojnarowski [very popular with WOJ BOMB— THE bombastic news, very first reporting, about NBA trade] sent his tweet about some trade deal, he used THREADS for the same info . Last time, days ago, after 11 hours of gigantic engagement about Damian Lillard trade especially in Twitter or X, he forgot he had a THREADS account.
Sometimes actions like this may influence other people to use the same thing.
Adrian never use TikTok, a bytedance product. Even, he was tweeted his concern about Hong Kong.
TikTok to the US Senate, addressing how TikTok storing creator data in China squares w execs' testimony that US user data is stored in the US: "Creators are individuals who, unlike typical users, want to build audiences for their content and seek monetization opportunities"
Employees of the Chinese-owned video app have regularly posted user information on a messaging and collaboration tool called Lark, according to internal documents.
In August 2021, TikTok received a complaint from a British user, who flagged that a man had been “exposing himself and playing with himself” on a livestream she hosted on the video app. She also described past abuse she had experienced.
To address the complaint, TikTok employees shared the incident on an internal messaging and collaboration tool called Lark, according to company documents obtained by The New York Times. The British woman’s personal data — including her photo, country of residence, internet protocol address, device and user IDs — were also posted on the platform, which is similar to Slack and Microsoft Teams.
Her information was just one piece of TikTok user data shared on Lark, which is used every day by thousands of employees of the app’s Chinese owner, ByteDance, including by those in China. According to the documents obtained by The Times, the driver’s licenses of American users were also accessible on the platform, as were some users’ potentially illegal content, such as child sexual abuse materials. In many cases, the information was available in Lark “groups” — essentially chat rooms of employees — with thousands of members.
The profusion of user data on Lark alarmed some TikTok employees, especially since ByteDance workers in China and elsewhere could easily see the material, according to internal reports and four current and former employees. Since at least July 2021, several security employees have warned ByteDance and TikTok executives about risks tied to the platform, according to the documents and the current and former workers.
“Should Beijing-based employees be owners of groups that contain secret” data of users, one TikTok employee asked in an internal report last July.
