TikTok. Tick-tock, tick-tock.

TikTok

Kevin Mayer quit. Tick-tock. The deadline for the sale is November 12. Tick-tock. The Trump Administration wants to “clean” America’s internet of Chinese spyware. Tick-tock. The countdown to a virtual border wall between the U.S. and China is well under way. The ramifications of this are politically, technologically, and sociologically significant, and that’s before you start playing the “who wins, who loses” game.

Do you believe that the Chinese are spying on us through TikTok and WeChat? How will they make that data actionable? Please fill in the contact form below. I’m looking for thoughtful, well-reasoned arguments that cite data collected by ByteDance and Tencent and explain how (precisely) that data would be weaponized.
