tiktok!!
The White House has set a deadline of 30 days for all federal agencies to uninstall TikTok from government-issued devices. Canada and EU institutions have also banned the app from staff devices, citing risks to privacy and security. Why is the Chinese-owned app evoking such concern? DW spoke to tech expert and NYU Professor Scott Galloway to better understand the threat.

This guy has obviously never been on or seen Chinese tik-tok. Chinese tik-tok is easily as ridiculous as western, if not more. Chinese tik-tok is absurdly immature and pointless.
The rest of his doomsday stuff I agree with.
Such a well articulated piece! I wonder whether this is sufficient to get people to stop using Tik Tok or not
Maybe building a competitor bound to EU privacy law and without foreign investors might provide people a safer haven. But it requires investments.
Great interview. The Professor reaaly hot the key points at the end. Hadn’t thought about it that way. Well articulated!! Many thanls
Another way to increase data privacy and control, is to make any/all companies that harvest our data for profit, to pay each user for the data they generate.
Probably he most thought provoking video on the potential of TIkTok that I’ve heard. Hadn’t thought about some of the ideas presented before.
I’ve never used TikTok, and have no intention of ever doing so. Hopefully, the people that do use it might think about some of these things anymore. Whether this guy being interviewed is right or wrong, I think this stuff is working thinking about.
I see no reason to have Tik Rot in my life, Google is communist enough.
When did Prof Scott Galloway become a “tech expert”? There was a time when he would object to that characterization but not any more!!
What a most excellent interview with regard to TikTok. Unfortunately if this money to be made people will be there to make the money. Regardless of the cost!
Ban TikTok to safeguard our and future generations well-being
after reading about twitter case, we understand that it’s not the app, but because “they” can’t just send email to tell the app to do things for them. it’s not under their power.
China doesn’t let their own people watch TicTok. That tells me everything. I quit using it. Even though I only watched cat videos.
Yes to Ban. It serves no useful purpose for humanity.
money over anything else, even national security. Sums up America PERFECTLY.
One (importannt) debate is is banning it or not. We in he West, even more importantly, need to educate our kids on not only the Trojan horse that Tik Tok is, but also the very real threat of digital dementia.
Seems like both Anchor and Tech Expert missed the core aspect here, why it was banned specifically on staff devices ? they both talked about polarization and other general cons of social media and algo that powers content feed, but how exactly TikTok poses threats when installed in gov devices. I am thinking: When Gov Employees/military men uses TikTok -> TikTok understands their vulnerabilities, if any, like what kind of content they watch , track movement of specific targets , they can sense the importance of meeting when they see gathering of many people of interest at one place -> then, other CCP agencies uses honeypot / bribe / threaten to extract sensitive data based on gov employee weakness.
If you are someone who simply watches stuff on Tiktok without uploading anything, you could view Tiktok on your computer’s browser. That way you don’t have to download the app on your phone and give away info for the sake of national security. Now if you are a content creator or someone who regularly upload and share stuff on Tiktok, well you are screwed because there is no other way but to use the app on your phone to create stuff lol.
In Canada we just banned it on government devices today
Another hit piece. Any chinese company that rises above its western competition it becomes a threat.. Smh
Soon, it will be BYD and NIO.
Jealousy and egos
“They’re not to our national security” he says about Google and co but then says they’re a threat to a persons mental health, elections, misinformation and privacy. Much of which sounds like national security threats.
