working for a major consulting firm. He’s made it clear many of their clients are trying to figure a way out or at least develop flexibility if need be. I think we are starting to see that. I don’t expect Apple to pull out of billions invested in China overnight, but our whole economic ecosystem needs to think through what it might look like. https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/mexico-overtakes-china-leading-source-goods-imported-us-107034221 Previous Message Previous Message across all spectrums. China’s mobilization law requires all Chinese companies to support their military and National security requirements. As Wray said in another clip that day, it is impossible to cure Tik Tok without it being entirely divested from China. As to the actual threat, as others said it’s one button push algorithm away from flooding users with AI driven pro China and anti US propaganda. Just imagine how they will use the new ability to use chat created AI video specifically tailored to your interests. And then there is the software on your device Tik Tok carries. China has created a doctrine of military civil fusion (MCF) that is authorized by their national mobilization law and led by their national mobilization system and office. For any of you that read my article from 2019, you’ll know FEMA shut all of our national mobilization programs down in 1993 and we currently have no effective way of fosusing the totality of U.S. capabilities and its $25 trillion economy on a problem. One reason COVID was such a shit show is there was/is no national plan for anything, anymore. But the bottom line is Tik Tok is just part of an integrated whole of society effort to prepare China for war with us. Will that ever happen? I hope to God no, and Ms Easterly’s comments should make it clear, and quite frankly that’s just part of it. And to hell with any Americans taking money to lobby for China, Tik Tok or any other Chinese state interest. You are no different than shilling for Hitler in 1938. Previous Message Is it just data mining from users? Misinformation or propaganda? Other? Just curious since it seems like they aren’t doing anything that Facebook and Amazon and Twitter and every other internet company aren't also doing. Not great, certainly, but I’m not totally clear why it’s fundamentally different just because it’s a Chinese company. And if it’s such a threat, maybe we should be legislating/regulating the industry rather than freaking out that the Chinese are doing the same things everyone else are. But maybe there are some other threat vectors or uniquely insidious or dangerous things about Tik Tok. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YKpGepy_lqs Previous Message Zero chance Tik Tok exists in two years unless it’s sold to a non Chinese company. And they know it.
