So Congress has passed ░░░░░░░░ bill that could ban ░░░░░░░░ tock but what what ░░░░░░░░ do specifically to protect ░░░░░░░░ security that s really ░░░░░░░░ in discussion this entire ░░░░░░░░ and your data let ░░░░░░░░ bring in here Alex ░░░░░░░░ he s a cybersecurity ░░░░░░░░ with trust said good ░░░░░░░░ to you got to ░░░░░░░░ a sec Good morning ░░░░░░░░ to be here so ░░░░░░░░ big issue surrounding tick ░░░░░░░░ has always been cyber ░░░░░░░░ in people s data ░░░░░░░░ tick tock specifically because ░░░░░░░░ mean when when you ░░░░░░░░ they ve even other ░░░░░░░░ like Instagram Facebook they ░░░░░░░░ have an algorithm where ░░░░░░░░ look at your daddy ░░░░░░░░ things like that as ░░░░░░░░ So certainly from what ░░░░░░░░ see in your take ░░░░░░░░ data collection and in ░░░░░░░░ of what they store ░░░░░░░░ pretty similar to what ░░░░░░░░ see and other social ░░░░░░░░ or sharing site I ░░░░░░░░ that really the issue ░░░░░░░░ question here s the ░░░░░░░░ structure and when you ░░░░░░░░ at that and kind ░░░░░░░░ think through the fact ░░░░░░░░ China is generally considered ░░░░░░░░ be the United States ░░░░░░░░ larger strategic adversary Hear ░░░░░░░░ question becomes do we ░░░░░░░░ as a nation to ░░░░░░░░ that that company have ░░░░░░░░ much sweaty I think ░░░░░░░░ just over having our ░░░░░░░░ but also the ability ░░░░░░░░ really drive the narrative ░░░░░░░░ and really influence people ░░░░░░░░ their algorithms and what ░░░░░░░░ re showing and so ░░░░░░░░ So this is to ░░░░░░░░ kind of stolen However ░░░░░░░░ the thing with this ░░░░░░░░ is that by dance ░░░░░░░░ t have to find ░░░░░░░░ else to purchase this ░░░░░░░░ on purchase this app ░░░░░░░░ them specifically just say ░░░░░░░░ app is gone today ░░░░░░░░ China still have this ░░░░░░░░ or or or what ░░░░░░░░ we looking at with ░░░░░░░░ They certainly in in ░░░░░░░░ understanding would still have ░░░░░░░░ of data collected or ░░░░░░░░ data that tito been ░░░░░░░░ in the past but ░░░░░░░░ with elections are coming ░░░░░░░░ and other things that ░░░░░░░░ happening in the nation ░░░░░░░░ they would lose if ░░░░░░░░ app suddenly went away ░░░░░░░░ the ability to kind ░░░░░░░░ drive the narrative I ░░░░░░░░ one of the things ░░░░░░░░ really fascinating about tick ░░░░░░░░ is just how much ░░░░░░░░ use it You look ░░░░░░░░ statistics how much time ░░░░░░░░ are spending their other ░░░░░░░░ People spend a lot ░░░░░░░░ time there If you ░░░░░░░░ at younger people and ░░░░░░░░ some of the surveys ░░░░░░░░ how just how much ░░░░░░░░ their news they re ░░░░░░░░ from places like tick ░░░░░░░░ and not mainstream news ░░░░░░░░ with the mainstream news ░░░░░░░░ there s a lot ░░░░░░░░ that in of checking ░░░░░░░░ the information whereas with ░░░░░░░░ social media sites really ░░░░░░░░ is free to create ░░░░░░░░ content So what is ░░░░░░░░ specifically using this data ░░░░░░░░ in this case that ░░░░░░░░ in this case again ░░░░░░░░ is far as how ░░░░░░░░ re using the data ░░░░░░░░ nothing has come out ░░░░░░░░ they re using it ░░░░░░░░ variously as far as ░░░░░░░░ data they re collecting ░░░░░░░░ certainly when you look ░░░░░░░░ the algorithm and kind ░░░░░░░░ what s shown to ░░░░░░░░ in a gala be ░░░░░░░░ You know kind of ░░░░░░░░ it s China specifically ░░░░░░░░ the government you desperately ░░░░░░░░ structure China has a ░░░░░░░░ large influence over organizations ░░░░░░░░ are in China and ░░░░░░░░ in China but certainly ░░░░░░░░ a lot of cases ░░░░░░░░ and through kind of ░░░░░░░░ and and you know ░░░░░░░░ how much young people ░░░░░░░░ influenced by a lot ░░░░░░░░ the information on there ░░░░░░░░ again I think the ░░░░░░░░ comes down to is ░░░░░░░░ we as a nation ░░░░░░░░ to allow kind of ░░░░░░░░ a foreign company company ░░░░░░░░ is in what s ░░░░░░░░ adversarial nation that much ░░░░░░░░ to kind of drive ░░░░░░░░ narrative here Chinese company ░░░░░░░░ s on excuse me ░░░░░░░░ that are are apps ░░░░░░░░ I mean tick Tock ░░░░░░░░ example Are they the ░░░░░░░░ threat when it comes ░░░░░░░░ cybersecurity I mean we ░░░░░░░░ other American at the ░░░░░░░░ here built in branded ░░░░░░░░ here in the u ░░░░░░░░ as well So there ░░░░░░░░ certainly at it s ░░░░░░░░ broad question right There ░░░░░░░░ many many threats to ░░░░░░░░ and to our data ░░░░░░░░ every day and again ░░░░░░░░ think the issue really ░░░░░░░░ you know if you ░░░░░░░░ at the other social ░░░░░░░░ sites it s unbelievable ░░░░░░░░ much data is collected ░░░░░░░░ each and every one ░░░░░░░░ us that use these ░░░░░░░░ are really any site ░░░░░░░░ I I really think ░░░░░░░░ question comes down to ░░░░░░░░ owner shit structure and ░░░░░░░░ s really where that ░░░░░░░░ lies You know it ░░░░░░░░ not in question that ░░░░░░░░ sites and other social ░░░░░░░░ sites are really collecting ░░░░░░░░ same amount of data ░░░░░░░░ in I asked I ░░░░░░░░ it would really be ░░░░░░░░ at they They just ░░░░░░░░ much data is out ░░░░░░░░ about each every one ░░░░░░░░ us We would talk ░░░░░░░░ How do you keep ░░░░░░░░ safe and the we ░░░░░░░░ going on the time ░░░░░░░░ we appreciate your alley ░░░░░░░░ the meantime thanks so ░░░░░░░░ for the what
