And those that do, are briefed BEFORE they go. I'd certainly HOPE that they'd know not to be using WeChat, Tik-Tok, etc. on their government supplied equipment. Or to be participating on this site in an active manner - moral turpitude is grounds for termination or removal of government security clearances...Quote:

I certainly would believe. There is talk about moving to ban TikTok from all in the US (remove from app stores). While I certainly agree that social media can last forever and have unforeseen consequences on an individual in the future (e.g. job interviews, companies asking for access to social media accounts during employment interviews), it's not unique to WeChat (or Line, etc). I certainly wouldn't be posting on this forum using company equipment, and unless you're WIPING browser history off any device immediately after accessing this forum, there is some risk if access device is seized (with non-zero risk even if you're wiping...)Quote:

I find it quite useful in SYD for contact info with certain business associates. No need to wail the mournful cries of "does anyone know where she is now?" during any gaps in patronage. After the Covid gap of 3 years, I was able to contact several favs to find out where they were working when things opened up. Very easy to find out where she's moved to if she's changed shops during any BOTG absence. Given many shops have WeChat, useful for making bookings with the shop. (The paranoid can hide an app; sms messaging a bit more known to look for...) And, besides business contacts, very useful for civilian ones. WeChat even has a built-in translation capability along with video calls. Just another internet tool that comes with advantages and disadvantages, benefits and risks. But while in China, I've never had a problem. Oh, wait, there's a knock on the door, I'll be back in a min
Its a sex forum...China doesn't care about what happens here. Unless Mr Ping is looking to make sure his granddaughter isn't working at ginza.
It seems that LSM has also lost their wechat account
WeChat is like smoking - us users know it’s going to kill us one day, but damn it feels good…
They walk through a data door 🚪 IMEI, IMSI, MAC, RFID and NFC are collected for starters. Then the rest of the info from the telco. No need to touch a handset.Quote:

Log out of almost all social media, chat apps, cloud file storage, most of your email etc. and delete those apps from your phone.
Clear your browser history. Or delete your browsers and reinstall the default one on your phone.
Permanently delete all the deleted photos on your phone, or maybe leave 1-2 innocuous ones.
With everything in the cloud, you lose nothing, and you can reinstall apps and log in again once you’ve crossed the border. Except in China where they are all blocked anyway.
Don’t be too clean, but do your best to launder what’s on there.
Too hard just buy a cheap phone and new sim all clean.Quote:

How do you guys find the update WeChat Ids?
Yep, just tried that one.Quote:

WeChat lists “lewd content” as one reason.
Considering we live in a push button society it’s very easy to find a different girl or shop, so it’s obviously costing everyone money.
Perhaps a perma thread with shop’s WeChat ids?
Looking like 41 Epping r having issues with their WeChat they r asking to make all bookings for 41 E via the 227 NS WeChat ID which is twinklestar227
Notice 🚨🚨Our Epping shop WeChat ID is not working !!
We will temporarily post Epping shop roster in 227 North Strathfield shop Wechat account .
You can make a booking for Epping shop through this WeChat .
Sorry for the inconvenience🙇🏻*♀️🙇🏻*♀️

If it's a new WeChat, I've heard that you have to have an existing WeChat member vouch for you. If it's an existing account, there is a process to unlock - something like start the process, message (say sms) someone you've Wechatted with, and have them use a code... been a long time since I've had to do that (old phone dead so couldn't do a simple xfer). But there are instructions on WeChat.Quote:

This sounds quite feasible. AI in the last 6 months has gone ballistic.Quote:

No doubt, and without a doubt, AI involved. It is PRC after all. As I said, I had my account locked when I tried to sign-in on a new device without transferring "access" from my old device. Simple when old and new are functional, not so simple when the former is dead. Prevents someone from jacking your account.Quote:
