During his presidency, Donald Trump sought to ban TikTok due to national security concerns, but he now supports the platform. As of January 20, 2025, he plans to sign an executive order after his inauguration to delay the ban and will pursue a deal that allows TikTok to operate while addressing security issues. This decision comes after a brief outage of the app, which TikTok attributed to Trump's intervention. TikTok currently has around 170 million users, many of whom rely on it for news and entertainment. Trump's change in position capitalizes on the current political climate, allowing him to potentially blame the previous administration if the ban is enforced or receive praise if it is lifted. Key tech figures, including Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, have sought to align themselves with Trump, influencing company policies and providing financial support for his inauguration. TikTok's CEO, Shou Chew, has engaged in direct discussions with Trump, emphasizing the platform's commitment to its U.S. operations. Despite the law mandating TikTok's separation from its parent company ByteDance, recent actions indicate potential leniency under a Trump administration, which might consider regulatory changes favoring business consolidation. Trump also proposed a 90-day extension for ByteDance to comply with separation requirements and suggested establishing a joint venture with U.S. ownership in TikTok, although details remain unclear.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/ Hosted on Acast.

D66 wil sociale media verbieden voor jongeren onder de 15 jaar. Daarvoor pleit D66-Kamerlid Hanneke van der Werf in de Tweede Kamer. Ze wijst daarbij naar het verbod op sociale media in Australië, dat afgelopen werd aangenomen. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Niet alleen Nederland heeft het over een verbod op sociale media voor jongeren. Ook Frankrijk, Denemarken en Noorwegen overwegen het. Volgens Van der Werf is het daarom belangrijk dat een verbod op sociale media voor jongeren op Europees niveau geregeld wordt. Een grote horde die daarvoor genomen moet worden, is het ontwikkelen van een betrouwbaar en privacy-vriendelijk systeem dat leeftijden kan verifiëren. Volgens staatssecretaris Zsolt Szabó voor Digitalisering wordt daar nu aan gewerkt door de Europese Commissie en EU-lidstaten. Verder in deze Tech Update: TikTok-baas Shou Chew dineerde maandag met aankomend president Donald Trump om het te hebben over het verbod op TikTok in de Verenigde Staten Google komt met een nieuwe AI-videogenerator: Veo 2 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last week, President Biden signed a law requiring the sale or ban of TikTok. But lawmakers' concerns go back much farther. Some lawmakers and former employees of TikTok say that TikTok executives, particularly CEO Shou Chew, could have done more to prevent this outcome. WSJ tech reporter Georgia Wells tells host Alex Ossola about Chew's missed opportunities to woo lawmakers. Plus, it's a trend on TikTok to get AI systems like ChatGPT to talk to people like a boyfriend would… even if the systems weren't designed that way. WSJ senior platform editor Julia Munslow undertook an experiment to find out just how hard it is to get the system to be R-rated. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Only two months ago Joe Biden joined the social media platform TikTok with a video captioned "lol hey guys". Now, the US president is poised to sign a bill that could ban the popular app - unless its parent company sells it. The country is concerned that TikTok's owner, Beijing-based tech firm ByteDance, could be forced by Chinese authorities to hand over the user data of almost 170 million American app users. On this episode, Niall Paterson unpicks the possible ban with Arthi Nachiappan, our technology correspondent. Plus, Chris Stokel-Walker, author of TikTok Boom: China's Dynamite App And The Superpower Race For Social Media, joins Niall to discuss the app's impact in the US - as well as China's influence on technology. Since recording this episode, TikTok CEO, Shou Chew said in a statement: "This unconstitutional law is a TikTok ban, and we will challenge it in court. We believe the facts and the law are clearly on our side, and we will ultimately prevail."As we continue to challenge this unconstitutional ban, we will continue investing and innovating to ensure TikTok remains a space where Americans of all walks of life can safely come to share their experiences, find joy, and be inspired."Producer: Emma Rae Woodhouse Assistant producer: Iona BrunkerPromotions producer: David Chipakupaku Editor: Paul Stanworth

In Russland wird ab heute und bis Sonntag ein neuer Präsident gewählt. Der Sieger steht auch schon fest: der amtierende Präsident Wladimir Putin. Um erneut kandidieren zu können, hatte Putin die Verfassung ändern lassen. Oppositionelle wie Boris Nadeschdin oder Jekaterina Dunzowa wurden gar nicht erst zur Wahl zugelassen. Also worum geht es bei einer Wahl, deren Ausgang schon vorher gewiss ist? Das weiß Michael Thumann. Er ist außenpolitischer Korrespondent und berichtet für DIE ZEIT aus Moskau. Im Podcast erklärt er, mit welcher Erzählung Putin in seine dann fünfte Amtszeit gehen wird. Der sonst so zerstrittene US-Kongress war sich am Mittwoch ungewohnt einig, als er für ein Gesetz gestimmt hat, das die Videoplattform TikTok zum Eigentümerwechsel zwingen soll. 352 Abgeordnete stimmten dafür, 65 dagegen. Der CEO von TikTok, Shou Chew, sagte, dass das Gesetz dazu führen werde, dass TikTok in den USA verboten wird, und kündigte an, sich dagegen mit rechtlichen Mitteln zu wehren, und hat alle TikTok-User aufgerufen, in den USA dagegen zu protestieren. Bevor das Gesetz in Kraft treten kann, muss es noch durch den Senat. Joe Biden wiederum hat bereits angekündigt, es zu unterzeichnen, sollte auch der Senat dafür sein. Johanna Roth berichtet für ZEIT ONLINE aus Washington, D. C. Im Podcast erklärt sie, welche konkreten Bedenken US-Politiker gegen TikTok haben. Und sonst so: Eine dänische Stadt will zu vielen Möwen mit einem ungewöhnlichen Manöver beikommen: sie erschießen.

This Day in Legal History: The Passing of the 13th AmendmentOn January 31, 1865, a pivotal moment in American legal history unfolded as Congress passed the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, marking a significant turning point in the nation's journey towards equality and justice. This landmark amendment, which formally abolished slavery in the United States, came as a culmination of years of struggle and civil war, reflecting a profound shift in the national consciousness. Its passage symbolized not just the end of an inhumane practice, but also the beginning of a new era of legal and social reform.The 13th Amendment's journey through Congress was fraught with political challenges, showcasing the deep divisions within the country at the time. It was an extension of President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, which had declared slaves in Confederate states to be free. However, the Proclamation itself did not end slavery nationwide, which necessitated a constitutional amendment.The Amendment's language was clear and unequivocal: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." This wording ensured that slavery was not merely suspended or mitigated but utterly dismantled in a legal sense.The passage of the 13th Amendment was a complex legal achievement, requiring a two-thirds majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, followed by ratification by three-fourths of the states. Its adoption signified a legal recognition of the inalienable rights of a significant portion of the American population, who had been denied freedom and dignity for centuries.Importantly, the 13th Amendment laid the groundwork for further advancements in civil rights. It was followed by the 14th and 15th Amendments, which granted citizenship and voting rights to former slaves, respectively. These Reconstruction Amendments collectively aimed to redefine the landscape of American civil liberties and the legal status of African Americans.In retrospect, the passage of the 13th Amendment on January 31, 1865, stands as a testament to the enduring struggle for human rights and the ongoing evolution of legal principles in the United States. It reminds us that legal frameworks are not static but are capable of transformation, often in response to the demands of justice and equality.In a landmark decision, Delaware Chancery Court Chief Judge Kathaleen St. J. McCormick ruled against Elon Musk's $55 billion compensation package from Tesla, which had been challenged by a Tesla investor as excessive and inadequately justified. This ruling, coming after about a year of deliberation, highlighted the extraordinary scale of the pay deal, noting it was 250 times larger than that of median CEO peers and over 33 times greater than Musk's 2012 compensation, calling it "an unfathomable sum" and "historically unprecedented."The judge criticized the process Tesla used to approve the package, pointing out conflicts of interest among board members. These members, including Tesla's former General Counsel and friends of Musk, were deemed "beholden" to him, leading to a lack of meaningful negotiation. This raised questions about the fairness and necessity of the compensation plan, especially given Musk's significant ownership stake in Tesla and his stated commitment to the company's success.Furthermore, McCormick scrutinized Musk's motivations, highlighting his intention to use the compensation to fund his Mars colonization ambitions through SpaceX. Musk views this endeavor as a moral obligation and a means to protect humanity from potential threats posed by artificial intelligence. However, the judge questioned the necessity of such a large compensation package for retaining Musk and achieving Tesla's goals.The judge's decision also delves into the concept of Musk's control over Tesla, referencing cultural touchstones like Star Trek and Shakespeare's Henry V to illustrate the extent of his influence. She concluded that Musk's control and the cooperative nature of the board rendered the process leading to his pay deal "deeply flawed."In her closing remarks, Judge McCormick sympathized with Musk's legal team for their challenging task of defending the fairness of the largest potential compensation plan in public market history. Ultimately, she likened the flawed justification of Musk's pay package to a defective car design, requiring a "recall" and granting the investor's request for rescission.Musk Judge Says ‘Unfathomable' Deal Made Tesla CEO Overpaid (1)Judge voids Elon Musk's 'unfathomable' $56 billion Tesla pay package | ReutersA Republican-led panel has approved plans to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, setting the stage for a historic House vote that could make Mayorkas the first Cabinet secretary impeached in nearly 150 years. The decision, advanced 18-15 along party lines by the Homeland Security Committee, is seen as the GOP's most significant political action against President Joe Biden's administration, especially with border security being a critical issue in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.Republicans, led by Committee Chairman Mark Green, accuse Mayorkas of failing to enforce U.S. immigration laws and compromising public trust, particularly in handling the record-high migrant encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border. Despite this, the effort is expected to fail in the Senate, even with some Republican senators expressing concerns that targeting Mayorkas won't address border problems.Democrats counter these accusations, arguing that the impeachment proceedings are a retaliatory measure and that Mayorkas' actions do not meet the constitutional standard for "high crimes and misdemeanors." The markup session witnessed heated exchanges and procedural objections, reflecting deep partisan divides.Meanwhile, a group of Senate Republicans is working on a bipartisan deal to update immigration laws, contrasting with the House GOP's impeachment bid. This Senate effort, already criticized by leading House Republicans, proposes changes like narrowing asylum access and granting the president broader powers in immigration matters.Mayorkas has defended his record, emphasizing efforts to enforce border policies while maintaining a "tough but humane" approach. His response was criticized by Green as lacking seriousness regarding his responsibilities. The move to impeach Mayorkas has gained momentum rapidly over the past month, with House Speaker Mike Johnson pledging a swift floor vote and GOP leaders actively whipping votes for it.GOP Barrels Toward Impeaching Mayorkas as Democrats Cry Foul (1)Republican US House panel advances impeachment charges against border chief | ReutersAt a U.S. Senate hearing, leaders of major social media platforms, including Meta Platforms Inc., X, Snap Inc., Discord Inc., and TikTok, faced intense scrutiny from lawmakers regarding child online safety. The Senate Judiciary Committee, chaired by Senator Dick Durbin, called these executives to Washington to address concerns over the spread of child sexual abuse material online and the impact of social media on young people's mental health. The hearing began with powerful testimonies from victims of online sexual exploitation on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Discord.Senator Lindsey Graham criticized Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, accusing him of having "blood on his hands" due to a case of child sexual exploitation linked to his platforms. The hearing aimed to propel legislation targeting online child sexual exploitation, with lawmakers from both parties expressing frustration over the tech industry's slow response to growing accusations. These accusations include allowing underage users on their sites and ignoring the potential harms to teens' mental health.Zuckerberg, facing Congress again, pledged Meta's cooperation in making platforms safer for teenagers, highlighting the company's efforts in deploying tools like parental controls and privacy setting reviews. However, he faced tough questions over his 2021 decision to reject expanding teams overseeing child safety. In contrast, CEOs Linda Yaccarino of X, Evan Spiegel of Snap, Jason Citron of Discord, and Shou Chew of TikTok, some of whom were testifying for the first time, planned to defend their companies' practices in detecting and removing harmful content.The hearing underscored the urgent need for legislative action to safeguard children online, amidst ongoing debates over user privacy and the effectiveness of proposed measures. Lawmakers like Senators Marsha Blackburn and Richard Blumenthal championed a bill to legally require tech companies to protect children from harmful content, reflecting a bipartisan push for stricter regulation of social media platforms.Meta, X, TikTok CEOs Face Senate on Protecting Kids Online (1) Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

TikTok might be banned from the United States. In this episode, hear testimony from TikTok's CEO and judge for yourself if you think the arrangement that TikTok has negotiated with the U.S. government is enough to ensure that the Chinese government will not have the ability to manipulate the app or acquire your data. We also take a detailed look at the bill that would ban TikTok (by granting vast new authorities to the government) and we examine the big picture arena in which TikTok and the RESTRICT Act are merely sideshows.

TikTok: How Congress Can Safeguard American Data Privacy and Protect Children from Online Harms March 23, 2023 House Committee on Energy and Commerce Watch on YouTube Witness: Shou Chew, CEO, TikTok Clips 7:15 Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA): TikTok collects nearly every data point imaginable, from people's location, to what they type and copy, who they talk to, biometric data, and more. Even if they've never been on Tik Tok, your trackers are embedded in sites across the web. Tik Tok surveys us all, and the Chinese Communist Party is able to use this as a tool to manipulate America as a whole. We do not trust Tik Tok will ever embrace American values; values for freedom, human rights, and innovation. Tik Tok has repeatedly chosen the path for more control, more surveillance, and more manipulation. Your platform should be banned. 15:25 Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ): National security experts are sounding the alarm, warning that the Chinese Communist government could require TikTok to compromise device security, maliciously access American user data, promote pro-Communist propaganda, and undermine American interests. Disinformation campaigns could be launched by the by the Chinese Communist government through TikTok, which has already become rife with misinformation and disinformation, illegal activities, and hate speech. A recent report found that 20% of TikTok search results on prominent news topics contain misinformation. 20:35 Shou Chew: Let me start by addressing a few misconceptions about ByteDance, of which we are a subsidiary. ByteDance is not owned or controlled by the Chinese government. It is a private company. 60% of the company is owned by global institutional investors, 20% is owned by the founder, and 20% owned by employees around the world. ByteDance has five board members, three of them are American. Now TikTok itself is not available in mainland China. We're headquartered in Los Angeles and in Singapore, and we have 7000 employees in the US today. 21:50 Shou Chew: The bottom line is this: American data stored on American soil by an American company overseen by American personnel. We call this initiative Project Texas. That's where Oracle is headquartered. Today, U.S. TikTok data is stored by default in Oracle's service. Only vetted personnel operating in a new company called TikTok U.S. Data Security can control access to this data. Now, additionally, we have plans for this company to report to an independent American board with strong security credentials. Now, there's still some work to do. We have legacy U.S. data sitting in our servers in Virginia and in Singapore. We're deleting those and we expect that to be completed this year. When that is done, all protected U.S. data will be under the protection of US law and under the control of the U.S.-led security team. This eliminates the concern that some of you have shared with me that TikTok user data can be subject to Chinese law. 22:55 Shou Chew: We also provide unprecedented transparency and security for the source code for the TikTok app and recommendation engine. Third party validators like Oracle and others will review and validate our source code and algorithms. This will help ensure the integrity of the code that powers what Americans see on our app. We will further provide access to researchers, which helps them study and monitor our content ecosystem. Now we believe we are the only company that offers this level of transparency. 23:35 Shou Chew: The potential security, privacy, [and] content manipulation concerns raised about TikTok are really not unique to us. The same issues apply to other companies. We believe what's needed are clear, transparent rules that apply broadly to all tech companies. Ownership is not at the core of addressing these concerns. 24:20 Shou Chew: TikTok will remain a place for free expression and will not be manipulated by any government. 27:30 Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA): Have any moderation tools been used to remove content on TikTok associated with the Uyghur genocide? Yes or no? Shou Chew: We do not remove that kind of content. Tik Tok is a place for freedom of expression. Chairwoman, just like I said, if you use our app, you can go on it and you will see a lot of users around the world expressing content on that topic and many others. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA): Thank you. What about the massacre in Tiananmen Square? Yes or no? Shou Chew: I'm sorry, I didn't hear the question. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA): The massacre in Tiananmen Square. Shou Chew: That kind of content is available on our platform. You can go and search it. 28:05 Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA): I will remind you that making false or misleading statements to Congress is a federal crime. 28:15 Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA): Can you say with 100% certainty that ByteDance or the CCP cannot use your company or its divisions to heat content to promote pro-CCP messages for an act of aggression against Taiwan. Shou Chew: We do not promote or remove content at the request of the Chinese government. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA): The question is, are you 100% certain that they cannot use your company to promote such messages? Shou Chew: It is our commitment to this committee and all users that we will keep this free from any manipulation by any government. 39:10 Shou Chew: Congressman, since I've been CEO of this company I've not had any discussions with Chinese government officials. 43:55 Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA): The Chinese government has that data. How can you promise that that will move into the United States of America and be protected here? Shou Chew: Congresswoman, I have seen no evidence that the Chinese government has access to that data. They have never asked us; we have not provided it. I've asked that -- Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA): Well, you know what, I find that actually preposterous. Shou Chew: I have looked and I have seen no evidence of this happening. And in order to assure everybody here and all our users, our commitment is to move the data into the United States to be stored on American soil, by an American company, overseen by American personnel. So the risk will be similar to any government going to an American company asking for data. 44:40 Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA): Well I'm one that doesn't believe that there is really a private sector in China. 54:55 Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO): So I want to know from you, and I will give you time to answer this. You have current controls, but the current controls are not working to keep dosinformation mainly from young people, but from Americans in general. What more is is TikTok doing to try to strengthen its review to keep disinformation from coming across to people. Shou Chew: Thank you for the question, Congresswoman. The dangerous misinformation that you mentioned is not allowed on our platform. It violates the -- Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO): I'm sorry to report it is on your platform, though. Shou Chew: Congresswoman, I don't think I can sit here and say that we are perfect in doing this. We do work very hard. Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO): How can you make yourself more perfect? I don't want you to say it's not there or you apologize. What can you do to limit it as much as possible, more than what you're doing now? Shou Chew: We invest a significant amount in our content moderation work. I shared that number in my written testimony -- Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO): I know you're investing, but what steps are you taking to improve the AI, or whatever else you're doing, to limit this content? Shou Chew: For example, if you search for certain search terms, we do direct you on TikTok to safety resources. That's one of the things we have done. We will continue to invest in this I recognize and fully aligned with you that this is a problem that faces our industry that we need to really invest and address this. I'm very in alignment. 1:07:05 Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL): Does TikTok share user information from companies...from parent companies...from affiliated...or send user information to...overseas? Shou Chew: In the past, yes, for interoperability purposes. Now, after Project Texas, all protected U.S. data will be stored here with the access controlled by a special team of U.S. personnel. 1:07:55 Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL): I do want a quote from employees that you had, and here's the quote, "everything is seen in China" is really what they said. People who were in touch with the sensitive data were saying that. How do you respond to that? Shou Chew: I disagree with that statement. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL): Well, I know you disagree with that statement. But my point is, how does that happen that employees of the company are saying that in fact, that's not true. Shou Chew: I cannot speak to, I don't know who this person is, so I cannot speak to what the person has or has not said. What I can say is, you know, based on my position in this company, and the responsibility that I have, that statement is just not true. 1:11:00 Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL): Yes or no, ByteDance is required to have a member of the Chinese government on its board with veto power, is that correct? Shou Chew: No, that is not correct. ByteDance owns some Chinese businesses and you're talking about this very special subsidiary that is for Chinese business license -- Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL): Mr. Chew, I'm gonna have to move on. 1:19:20 Shou Chew: First, anything that is violated and harmful, we remove. What I meant to say were [sic] content that is not inherently inherently harmful, like some of the extreme fitness videos about people running 100 miles, is not inherently harmful, but if we show them too much, the experts are telling us that we should disperse them more and make sure that they're not seen too regularly, especially by younger users. 1:33:20 Rep. Bill Johnson (R-OH): Do you realize that making false and misleading statements to Congress is a federal crime? Shou Chew: Yes, I do. Rep. Bill Johnson (R-OH): Okay. 1:39:35 Shou Chew: We do want to be leading in terms of safety of our users, particularly for teenagers. We were the first to launch a 60 minute watch limit. Rep. John Sarbanes (D-MD): And let's talk about the 60 Minute -- Shou Chew: And I'm very glad to see others in our industry follow. For many of the recommendations, we will study them very seriously. We actually have a series of features. Like for example, if you're under 16, you cannot use a direct messaging feature, because we know we want to protect those younger users. If you're under 16, you cannot go viral by default. If you're under 18, you cannot go live. 1:48:20 Rep. Paul Tonko (D-NY): Will you continue to get information from these third parties on its users health? Shou Chew: Get information? We do not get any user health information from third parties. 1:56:20 Shou Chew: The American data has always been stored in Virginia and Singapore in the past. And access of this is on an as required basis by engineers globally — Rep. Tim Walberg (R-SC): As required by who? Shou Chew: By engineers, for business purposes -- Rep. Tim Walberg (R-SC): Engineers? ByteDance? The Communist Party? Shou Chew: No, no. Rep. Tim Walberg (R-SC): Why? How can you say that if they have access -- Shou Chew: This is a business. This is a private business, and like many other businesses, many other American companies, we rely on the global workforce. Rep. Tim Walberg (R-SC): So the global workforce, that includes ByteDance, which is connected directly to the Chinese Communist Party. Shou Chew: That is a mischaracterization that we disagree with. Now, in the future -- Rep. Tim Walberg (R-SC): That's not what we can disagree with. That's a fact. Shou Chew: It's not, unfortunately. Rep. Tim Walberg (R-SC): The CEO of ByteDance and your relationship to them. Shou Chew: Congressman, respectfully, in my opening statement, I said this is a private company, it's owned 60% by global investors. Three out of the five board members on ByteDance are Americans. This is a private business Rep. Tim Walberg (R-SC): You report directly to ByteDance, with a CEO who is a member of Communist Party. Let me move on — Shou Chew: He is not. Rep. Tim Walberg (R-SC): -- I think we got the answer. 2:07:20 Shou Chew: We do not collect body, face, or voice data to identify our users. We do not -- Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA): You don't? Shou Chew: No, the only face data that you get that we collect is when you use the filters to have sunglasses on your face. We need to know where your eyes are -- Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA): Why do you need to know what the eyes are if you're not seeing if they're dilated? Shou Chew: -- and that data is stored on your local device and deleted after use if you use it for facial. Again, we do not collect body, face, or voice data to identify users. Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA): I find that hard to believe. 2:30:20 Rep. Gary Palmer (R-AL): When the Chinese Communist government bought a share ByteDance, it's been described as the Chinese Communist Government's way of quieter form of control, and that companies have little choice in selling a stake to the government if they want to stay in business, and what I'd like to know is when the Chinese Communist government moved to buy shares of ByteDance, were you informed beforehand, yes or no? Shou Chew: No, Congressman, ByteDance -- Rep. Gary Palmer (R-AL): Were you or anyone with TikTok asked for your opinion about the sale of shares of ByteDance to the Chinese Communist government? Yes or no? Shou Chew: It just, this hasn't happened. 2:34:55 Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI): Mr. Chew, have any prior versions of TikTok's app collected precise GPS information from us users, yes or no? Shou Chew: Yes. From back in 2020, about three years ago. Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI): Are there currently TikTok users who still hold old versions of the app that collect precise GPS information from U.S. users? Yes or no? Shou Chew: That could be, but that's a small percentage. 2:36:05 Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI): Has TikTok, at any time, sold precise GPS information collected from U.S. users? Yes or no? Shou Chew: We do not sell data to data brokers if that's the question. Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI): And you've never done that? Shou Chew: I do not believe so. 2:37:15 Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI): Has TikTok, at any time, provided the Chinese government with either precise GPS information collected from U.S. users or inferences made from that data? Shou Chew: That I can give you a straight answer: no. 2:37:30 Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI): Mr. Chew, even in Congress, even if Congress were to ban Tiktok, I'm concerned that China or others would still have access to US consumer data by purchasing it through data brokers. Will you commit not to sell any of TikTok's data to data brokers now or in the future? Shou Chew: We do not do that. We do not sell data to data brokers now. Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI): Will you commit to not do it in the future? Shou Chew: This is -- certain members of industry who do this. I think this has to be broad legislation to help us, the whole industry, address this problem. 3:13:15 Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-AZ): A March 21, Forbes article revealed how troves of personal data of Indian citizens who once used TikTok remained widely accessible to employees at the company and its Beijing based parent ByteDance. A current TikTok employee told Forbes that nearly anyone with basic access to company tools, including employees in China, can easily look up the closest contacts and other sensitive information about any user. This current TikTok employee also said, "If you want to start a movement, if you want to divide people, if you want to do any of the operation to influence the public on the app, you can just use that information to target those groups." Mr. Chew, why would a current TikTok employee say this if it wasn't true? Shou Chew: This is a recent article, I have asked my team to look into it. As far as I know there is, we have rigorous data access protocols. There's really no such thing where anybody can get access to tools. Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-AZ): Alright. Shou Chew: So I disagree with a lot of the conclusions of that. 3:18:20 Rep. Darren Soto (D-FL): So Mr. Chew, would TikTok be prepared to divest from ByteDance and Chinese Communist Party ties if the Department of Treasury instructed you all to do so? Shou Chew: Congressman, I said in my opening statement, I think we need to address the problem of privacy. I agree with you. I don't think ownership is the issue here, with a lot of respect. American social companies don't have a good track record with data privacy and user security. I mean, look at Facebook and Cambridge Analytica, just one example. So I do think that you know, it is not about the ownership, it is a lot about making sure we have Project Texas, making sure that we're protecting and firewalling U.S. user data from unwanted foreign access, giving third parties to come in to have a look at this and making sure that everybody is comfortable. We're giving transparency and third party monitoring and that's what we're doing for Project Texas. 4:24:15 Shou Chew: Congressman, we have only one process of removing content on our platform and the process is done by our content moderation team headquartered in Ireland and the US, and we will only remove content that violates our guidelines, and that's something that we audit, or if there's a valid legal order. 4:26:05 Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX): Here are my concerns with TikTok. Your claims are hard to believe. It's no secret to us that TikTok is still under the thumb of CCP influence and, let's be honest, TikTok is indoctrinating our children with divisive, woke, and pro-CCP propaganda. 4:27:15 Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX): Should we plan to have a committee hearing every time, every day, every time there's something brought up so that we can limit the content on TikTok? Should Congress plan to do that Mr. Chew? Rep. Raul Ruiz (D-CA): Almost 30% of the videos that came up contained misinformation...a high level of misinformation...misinformation...disinformation...misleading information...harmful misinformation...misinformation...misinformation. Why are these dangerous videos falling through the cracks of your company's efforts to enforce its own community guidelines and remove harmful misinformation? 4:30:20 Shou Chew: Yes, any dangerous misinformation is...we partner with third party experts to be able to identify and help us with subject domain expertise. And with their expertise that we recognize, we rely on those to develop policies to recognize and remove could be -- Rep. Raul Ruiz (D-CA): Well, your efforts I have failed, and they're dangerous. 4:33:10 Shou Chew: I can get back to you on the specifics, but dangerous misinformation is moderated regardless of language. Rep. Raul Ruiz (D-CA): Not to the degree that it needs to be. 4:58:40 Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX): Are keystroke patterns and rhythms part of TikTok gathering the data that is gathered by TikTok? Shou Chew: If you're talking, Congressman, specifically about keystrokes, you know, we do not. We do not engage in keystroke logging to monitor what the users say. It's to identify bots for security purposes, and this is a standard industry practice. 5:24:30 Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX): Here's the main point of concern: China's 2017 National Intelligence law states very clearly, that, "any organization or citizen shall support, assist and cooperate with state intelligence work in accordance with the law and maintain the secrecy of all knowledge of state intelligence work." In other words, ByteDance, and also your TikTok employees that live in China, they must cooperate with Chinese intelligence whenever they are called upon. And if they are called upon, they're bound to secrecy. That would include you. So Mr. Chew, if the CCP tells ByteDance to turn over all data that TikTok has collected inside the US, even within Project Texas, do they have to do so according to Chinese law? Shou Chew: Congressman, first, I'm Singaporean. Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX): That's fine. But there are employees of yours and ByteDance's in China. Shou Chew: We understand this concern. In my opening statement, we said we hear these concerns, we didn't try to avoid them or you know, trivialize them, we built something where we take the data and put it out of reach. This is what we did, we put it out of reach. Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX): But they own you. Shou Chew: No, we put it out of reach by -- Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX): ByteDance owns Tiktok and the CCP owns ByteDance, because the CCP owns everybody in China. So by law, they can make them do whatever they want. And they say that by law, you can't tell anyone about it. So they can make you hand over that data is that correct? Shou Chew: Data is stored here in American soil, by an American company overseen by American -- Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX): Leaked audio from 80 internal TikTok meeting shows that US user data has been repeatedly accessed from China, when you said it hasn't been. And here's the other thing, following back on my colleagues line of questioning. In your own privacy policy, it says that you may share information within your so called "Corporate Group" is ByteDance part of that corporate group? Shou Chew: If you're talking about the share of the entity with the share, like I shared with the previous -- Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX): Is ByteDance part of the corporate group? Shou Chew: ByteDance, as a holding company, is part of the corporate group, yes. Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX): Part of the corporate group. Okay, so your own privacy policy says you have to share data with ByteDance. And if the CCP says, Hey ByteDance, you're going to do what we say and you can't tell anyone about it because by law, according to that 2017 National Intelligence law, they have to do it. That's our concern. 5:26:50 Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX): Okay, so my last point is this, I want to say this to all the teenagers out there, and the TikTok influencers who think we're just old and out of touch and don't know what we're talking about, trying to take away your favorite app. You may not care that your data is being accessed now, but it will be one day when you do care about it. And here's the real problem: with data comes power. They can choose what you see and how you see it. They can make you believe things that are not true. They can encourage you to engage in behavior that will destroy your life. Even if it is not happening yet, it could in the future. The long term goal of the Chinese Communist Party is the demise of the American power, and that starts with our youth. At any moment, they could demand that all of TikTok's data be used to design an AI algorithm with the sole purpose of promoting Chinese interests and destroying our society from within. You want to know why Democrats and Republicans have come together on this? That's why we are so concerned. 2:07:55 Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA): How do you determine what age they are then? Shou Chew: We rely on age-gating as our key age assur-- Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA): Age...? Shou Chew: -gating, which is when you ask the user what age they are. We have also developed some tools where we look at their public profile to go through the videos that they post to see whether-- Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA): Well that's creepy. Tell me more about that. Shou Chew: It's public. So if you post a video [and] you choose that video to go public, that's how you get people to see your video. We look at those to see if it matches up the age that you told. Combatting the Economic Threat from China February 7, 2023 House Committee on Financial Services Watch on YouTube Witnesses: Peter E. Harrell, Former Senior Director for International Economics and Competitiveness, National Security Council and National Economic Council Clips Rep. David Scott (D-GA): I am deeply concerned with the fast growing possibility of a China-led world order. That includes the Chinese military controlling the South Pacific trade route because the South Pacific trade war is now the lifeline of the entire global economy. Peter E. Harrell: I think it's important that we all, as we think about China policy, we all recognize that China, though a serious competitor, and by far our most significant economic competitor, is not 10 feet tall. It's not some sort of mythical beast that we cannot out-compete. I think you've highlighted a couple of the reasons, Congresswoman, why that's the case. They do have high levels of debt. They also have serious long term demographic problems, coming to having a shrinking working age population. Rep. William Timmins (R-SC): The question is what are we going to do to get China to reform their behavior and compete in the global economy and be good actors in the global economy. That's the question. Economic Danger Zone: How America Competes to Win the Future Versus China February 1, 2023 Committee on Energy and Commerce, Subcommittee on Innovation, Data, and Commerce Watch on YouTube Witnesses: Samm Sacks, Senior Fellow, New America & Senior Fellow, Yale Law School Paul Tsai China Center Clips Samm Sacks: I mean, to be honest, I think that the grading profiles based on aggregate data is primarily a counterintelligence concern for individuals with national security clearances and the military or access to sensitive information for your average American what that what the impact would probably be more in terms of would that population or individual preference information could that be used to push information that would make say, a spear phishing attack more appealing it might be more likely that someone would would be a would click on a link because it appealed to them based on information that was collected? And so I would say it's, I would look at it from that angle. But why highlighted in my testimony, the more sort of far reaching impact is on economic competitiveness, which is a distinct issue, right? It's on Chinese firms who are able to access diverse international data sets beyond China. What that allows them to do is train AI models that could be more competitive in markets outside of China, where they're competing head to head with US firms. So I would bucket the risk. You have national security issues. You also have missed it targeted misinformation that could be used from that, as well as economic competitiveness between us and Chinese firms. And it's important to sort of be clear about those distinct buckets of risk. Samm Sacks: I guess I'll start with the TikTok issue. But you know, I think that there are two important issues on the table. One is data security, who has access to what, and the other is the potential to push misinformation online, the recommendation algorithm. My understanding is that there is a national security agreement on the table. You know, from a data security standpoint, if Oracle has the data in the cloud, there are multiple third party auditors and an oversight board that reports to CFIUS, I think that that would be pretty much locked down. The question around what kind of information the recommendation system pushes forward is an important one. And that also under this agreement -- it's called Project Texas and I've published about it just a week or so ago -- would be again, subject to verification, source code reviewed, essentially vetted by CFIUS. I think it's important that the public understand what that national security agreement would look like and then have a debate. Is this enough to address those concerns? And to what extent would other social media companies also need to meet them? Music Presented in This Episode Intro & Exit: Tired of Being Lied To by David Ippolito (found on Music Alley by mevio)

L'IA va-t-elle trop loin ? Et si l'on pouvait discuter avec Steve Jobs comme s'il était encore vivant ? C'est ce à quoi s'est amusé notre invité, Bruno Guglielminetti, du podcast Mon Carnet. Il a utilisé une intelligence artificielle reproduisant la voix et les idées du fondateur d'Apple pour établir un véritable dialogue outre-tombe. Le résultat est saisissant et troublant. Mais cette expérience ludique et instructive permet de s'interroger sur les enjeux éthiques et sociaux de l'intelligence artificielle. Ne risque-t-on pas d'aller trop loin ? Certains s'interrogent et aimeraient que l'on fasse une pause afin de fixer un cadre. TikTok va-t-il être interdit ? L'application chinoise est toujours dans le collimateur des Etats-Unis. Le PDG de TikTok, Shou Chew, a été auditionné récemment au Congrès et l'interrogatoire a été saignant. Les Américains craignent des fuites de données personnelles des utilisateurs et des risques d'espionnage au profit de Pékin, ainsi qu'un abêtissement des utilisateurs de TikTok qui est particulièrement addictive. En Europe aussi on réfléchit à limiter l'impact de l'application mais tous les services de divertissement, y compris américains, sont concernés. Meta abandonne-t-il le metavers ? Mark Zuckerberg a déclaré que son entreprise allait désormais se concentrer sur l'intelligence artificielle. Est-ce un abandon du grand projet de métavers ? Pendant ce temps, de nombreuses firmes continuent à travailler sur des metavers et l'usage des casques de réalité augmenté se développe pour des applications spécifiques, notamment en entreprise. De quoi relancer les interrogations à propos de ce concept qui a déjà fait couler beaucoup d'encre.

As it's been almost a tradition in my podcast, I'm analyzing another influential person's English. This time, I chose the CEO of TikTok, Mr. Shou Chew. He's become sort of a a celebrity of late because of the hearing in front of the US Congress to defend the app he represents, TikTok, from some serious allegations regarding user privacy and possible ties with Beijing. I chose him because he displayed an incredible command of his speaking skills. I'd say he's a role model to imitate if you wish to become a proficient user of English. As I haven't included the interview I analyzed in this episode, I suggest you watch it in full here: https://youtu.be/EE5Pcz99JFI I also spoke about Lander Hawe's app, "IELTS Preposition Safecracker", which I spoke about in episode 12 of this season.

En Europe aussi on réfléchit à limiter l'impact de l'application mais tous les services de divertissement, y compris américains, sont concernés. Meta abandonne-t-il le metavers ? Mark Zuckerberg a déclaré que son entreprise allait désormais se concentrer sur l'intelligence artificielle. Est-ce un abandon du grand projet de métavers ? Pendant ce temps, de nombreuses firmes continuent à travailler sur des metavers et l'usage des casques de réalité augmenté se développe pour des applications spécifiques, notamment en entreprise. De quoi relancer les interrogations à propos de ce concept qui a déjà fait couler beaucoup d'encre.

Stanford's Evelyn Douek and Alex Stamos weigh in on the latest online trust and safety news and developments:The TikTok Tick TockOf course, we had to lead with the TikTok hearing. CEO Shou Zi Chew testified before the House Energy and Commerce Committee during a five-hour grilling last Thursday. There was bipartisan support for comprehensive data privacy and protection legislation, a TikTok ban or restrictions, and children's online safety policy. - Ashley Gold/ Axios, Gopal Ratnam/ Roll Call, Cat Zakrzewski, Jeff Stein/ The Washington PostAlex wrote for CNN that U.S. national security policy guarding against Chinese data collection and influence operations must include but look beyond TikTok. He calls for comprehensive privacy legislation and researcher access to social media data.Over the weekend, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made the case that TikTok should not be banned in her first TikTok by focusing on the broader need for data privacy and protection rules.The hearing was bad for TikTok and Chew did not demonstrate he could stand up to China. He conceded that Chinese employees can access U.S. user data but evaded most questions and refused to condemn Chinese persecution of the Uyghur population.There are also likely First Amendment challenges to banning a single social media application without a clearly demonstrated national security threat. - Jameel Jaffer/ The New York Times, PEN AmericaIndia continues to crack down on online speech, and platforms (cough, Twitter) continue to acquiesce. - Samriddhi Sakunia/ Rest of World People were freaking out about generative AI images of Donald Trump being arrested, which seemed to convince more people that the AI apocalypse was finally here than convinced anyone that Trump had been arrested. - Manon Jacob/ AFP, Ashley Belanger/ Ars TechnicaIn further proof that everything is a content moderation issue, Midjourney, the company that developed the software used to generate the images, banned journalist Elliot Higgins for creating the images. - Chris Stokel-Walker/ BuzzFeedThe governor of Utah signed into law a crazy social media bill that gives parents and guardians complete access to their children's accounts. Start the countdown until the legal challenge. - Sam Metz, Barbara Ortutay/ Associated PressCompletely unrelated, the tech industry group NetChoice launched a litigation hub to track and respond to lawsuits on platform safety with amicus briefs. - Cat Zakrzewski/ The Washington PostTwitter CornerMusk is still CEO.No changes to the API. The algorithm is still not open source.Twitter announced it will start deleting legacy verifications on, no joke, April Fools' Day. - Alyssa Lukpat/ The Wall Street Journal, Jay Peters, Mitchell Clark/ The Verge, @verifiedIt will be good to have a signal of who not to pay attention to, although Twitter Blue subscribers might soon be able to hide their blue checkmarks. - Mitchell Clark/ The VergeJoin the conversation and connect with Evelyn and Alex on Twitter at @evelyndouek and @alexstamos.Moderated Content is produced in partnership by Stanford Law School and the Cyber Policy Center.

The Sos Report brings a fascinating episode. Soslan talked about Shou Chew, the founder and CEO of TikTok, and went in front of Congress on Thursday. It was an exciting five hours of not answering questions directly. Soslan brings up specific points that are very interesting to answer, such as "How many kids have died due to the challenges? Where does the information go from TikTok? What is China doing with the information from TikTok?" These are valid questions but will never be answered because Chew does not believe in Transparency. I hope you enjoy this fun episode and Remember to Keep It Sossy:) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/soslan-temanson/message
Ladies and gentlemen, gather 'round the virtual podcast water cooler as we dive headfirst into the fiery depths of TikTok CEO Shou Chew's first appearance before Congress! This thrilling episode will have you laughing, gasping, and shaking your head in disbelief as our fearless leader navigates the rough waters of a five-hour interrogation. If you thought DC politics were high-stakes, wait until you hear about the TikTok drama! Get ready for a whirlwind of accusations, political grandstanding, and an unforgettable performance by Mr. Chew, who might just give Fred Astaire a run for his money with his verbal dance moves. First, let's set the stage: the Capitol Hill showdown kicked off with a call to ban TikTok in the US, followed by a series of increasingly heated exchanges. Lawmakers grilled Shou Chew on everything from national security concerns to the impact of TikTok on children. Spoiler alert: things got intense! But don't worry, Shou Chew was ready to tango with his rehearsed arguments, emphasizing TikTok's independence from China and stressing that their data collection practices are no different than those of US tech giants. However, Congress wasn't buying it, with several members interrupting Chew's testimony to declare their disbelief. One of the highlights of this rollercoaster episode is when Rep. McMorris Rodgers accuses TikTok of being "a weapon by the Chinese Communist Party to spy on you, manipulate what you see, and exploit for future generations." Talk about a plot twist! Not to be outdone, Shou Chew deftly sidestepped these claims, only to be met with more skepticism from the likes of California Democratic Rep. Anna Eshoo, who found his assurances "preposterous." Will our hero ever catch a break? But wait, there's more! The episode takes a dark turn as lawmakers zero in on TikTok's impact on children, with chilling examples of harmful content served to young users. Despite TikTok's efforts to improve safety features, lawmakers remained unimpressed. In a moment of comic relief, Rep. Tony Cárdenas likened Shou Chew's evasive responses to Mark Zuckerberg's own testimony, dubbing both CEOs "good dancers with words." Who knew Congress could be such a tough crowd? As the hearing draws to a close, the tension outside the room escalates, with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken suggesting TikTok should be "ended one way or another." Can our plucky CEO withstand the mounting pressure from all sides? In the end, Shou Chew remains resilient, dismissing the fears of Chinese government access to TikTok's user data as "hypothetical." But will his performance be enough to sway the hearts and minds of Congress, or is this just the beginning of a long and treacherous journey for TikTok in the US? Tune in to this uproarious podcast episode for all the juicy details and razor-sharp wit as we chronicle the trials and tribulations of TikTok CEO Shou Chew's first appearance before Congress.

By any standard, the CEO of Tik Tok, Shou Chew did little to shore up the credibility of the social media giant or his own image during the Congressional hearing. When the hearing was over Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy said he would consider a ban on Tik Tok. It was a very bad day for the 40 year old millennial executive. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-herlihy/message

Shou Chew hat einmal ein Praktikum bei Facebook gemacht. Es war im Sommer 2009, und er studierte gerade an der Eliteuniversität Harvard. Damals hätte er vermutlich nicht gedacht, dass er eines Tages den schärfsten Wettbewerber des amerikanischen Internetkonzerns führen würde. Seit 2021 ist er Vorstandschef von Tiktok, der zum chinesischen Bytedance-Konzern gehörenden Video-App, deren Siegeszug als ein wesentlicher Grund für die gegenwärtigen Turbulenzen von Facebooks Mutterunternehmen Meta gilt. Am Donnerstag erlebte der 40 Jahre alte Tiktok-Chef einen der wohl schwierigsten Momente in seiner steilen Karriere. Er sagte in einer Anhörung vor dem Kongress in Washington aus, und dabei stand nicht weniger als Tiktoks Existenz in den USA auf dem Spiel. Die US-Regierung droht mit einem Verbot der App, es sei denn, die chinesischen Eigentümer verkaufen ihre Anteile. Wieso sind Politiker beider Parteien in Washington so alarmiert? Was droht der App wirklich? Welche Lehren sind für Europa zu ziehen? Und wieso ist gerade dieser Dienst unter jungen Menschen so unglaublich erfolgreich? Über all das reden wir in dieser Episode.
Yesterday's hearings on TikTok amounted to nothing more than an opportunity for Congress to make fools of themselves. The Democrats were only marginally better than their Republican counterparts by attacking a company with no evidence and openly telling the CEO Shou Chew that his answers did not matter to them. post.news: @Politics_From Twitter: @Politics_From Tribel: @Recovery_From RecoveryFromPolitics@Gmail.com https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kyle-william-frame https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100042064646185 Don't forget to Like, Subscribe, and Share!

Whether you love it or hate it, you know about the popular social media app TikTok. Today on Capitol Hill, the company's CEO is in the hot seat with Congress as he faces tough questions about the app's data and security measures. It comes as both Democrats and Republicans are calling for a complete ban of the app in the US. That's because the app has ties to Beijing and federal lawmakers worry TikTok can be used by the Chinese government to spy on Americans. In prepared testimony, CEO Shou Chew pledged to protect data from “unauthorized foreign access.” We breakdown what we can expect and how this may impact you.
