Meanwhile in the EU: TikTok, five other Chinese firms hit by EU privacy complaints
Chinese companies are in a catch 22 in Europe because Chinese law is completely incompatible with EU privacy laws.
And American companies are one executive order away from being in the same situation.
They don’t want to protect, they want exclusivity.
Err… Not to throw a wrench into things but, yeah. They kinda sorta did.
“Kinda sorta” is definitely the best way to put it.
I think the issue is that TiKtok is just as bad as all the other social media and they are owned by a foreign adversary.
Foreign adversaries (ie China, Russia and America) use social media for influence campaigns on each other and therefore their social media platforms can’t be trusted. This is why Chinese people similarly can’t use Google or Facebook
Good job, this is exactly the understanding and framing that the Council on Foreign Relations wants you to have 💯
I’m out of the loop what’s the council for and why would they want people to think that? What’s in it for them?
These are very good questions. What is the Council on Foreign Relations and what are its goals & motivations?
These are questions on the path toward developing real media literacy.
But China is not part of 14 eyes. So for citizens it is better that China has it than their own government.
Russia does that without (US-)foreign social media. Same difference.
