Tactoku's headhiring saga has recently caused a lot of twist songs, inducing whiplash.
On January 17, the Supreme Court of the United States unanimously justified. Supported the law The next day, Tiktok CEO's SHOU ZI CHEW to ban or forced the sale of apps that came into effect on January 19 Famous position About Trump's inauguration day. Same day, Trump Signed the presidential order Instruct the Ministry of Justice to delay at least 75 days.
The members of the Diet on the card side of the passage have already been pushed back. Tom Cotton (R-ARK), chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee It is listed “There is no legal basis for any kind of expansion.”
The Supreme Court made a correct decision and was in a legal precedent. Prohibiting Tactoku and forcing China to sell is a gift to the United States. It is best to happen as soon as possible.
Our country is not equal. China maintains a digital iron curtain (“”)Great firewall“). The country blocks all major US technical platforms, including Meta, Google, and X, and is pushed up to the American house freely. With this unilateral arrangement, Beijing gives American society an unprecedented reach, while American companies have refused to access the Chinese market.
The United States has legal and historical precedents for action. When dating China's ownership of the App GRindr Reviewed security concernsRegulatory authorities have forced their sales. This matches For many years Limit broadcast media from hostile foreign controls “It can bring national security risks.It makes sense that the same principles that prevent television and radio from being affected by China and Russia are applied to the digital platform that functions as the main source of today's media.
And Tiktok's data sharing and monitoring practices are unique. In 2022, the ordinance staff based in both the United States and China was caught Spy with American reporters He used the data from a journalist's TikTok account to clarify the source and cover the company because he was “tracking the reporter's physical movement.” In 2023, the US Tactoku employees were so I caught a post of American private user dataIncluding a driver's license and address for the Chinese closed employee chat roomThousands of members.“
In addition, under China National Information LawChinese companies must abandon the data required by the government, including personal information about Americans. That is exactly the White House Prohibited Tactoku From the government equipment in 2023.
When the Supreme Court heard oral discussions from Tiktok on January 10, Secretary John Roberts is appropriate. I asked Tactoku's lawyer“We should ignore the fact that the ultimate parent is actually subject to Intelligence reporting for the Chinese government?”
The intention of collecting data in China is all clear. In late 2024, US authorities reported that the Chinese government was responsible. Security violation At a major American telecommunications company and a government agency, including the Ministry of Finance.
Evidence is shown Beijing frequently makes Titock a weapon for advertising and false information campaigns. For example, 2022, former FBI director Christopherray Warned The Chinese government can use Tactoku to “influence or control devices”. This is an important distinction. Meta and X can amplifying toxic content, but are not found in hostile governments that instruct US users for influential campaigns.
And Tactoku's harm to children is important. Tiktok has more than 170 million users in the United States. The third is 14 years old。 In other words, Tactoku collects data on the minds of 50 to 60 million American children and has an effect. Recent revelation from a lawsuit against Tactoku More than 12 states“The judicial Secretary has found that Tiktok is aware that the algorithm can feel” anxiety, depression, and physical abnormality. ” However, the company ignored these survey results. It is fair to make a flag to the internal accused of the meta in 2023. A similar practices have been released On Instagram.
Prohibiting Tactoku has an effective concern that millions of Americans have a negative effect. Many argue that it infringes the right of American speech freedom. And there is no doubt that such ban will hinder American livelihood. If Tactoku has abandoned the US market, the social and financial distress experienced by millions of citizens is a reality. 7 million SMEs In the United States, they report that they are using Tactoku to promote growth and, therefore, are promoting profits. Countless creators depend on the app of their livelihood.
However, the history of social media will clarify the noticeable adaptability of users in the event of a ban, or if Tiktok withdraws from the United States. MySpace user Moved to Facebook in large quantities。 Vine users have moved to YouTube After that, to Tactoku。 Skype users have shifted to zoom. Many times, social media users have indicated that they can adapt, relocate, and prosper on new platforms.
And the evacuation is already It is progressing well。 Many tiktok users are already moving because there is no chance. Many Tactoku creators are encouraged to participate in followers Instagram reel or YouTube shorts。 Meta is an even number Courobo the creator of Tactoku In order to participate in Instagram, we provide a bonus of $ 10,000 to $ 50,000 per month. Such as such Crapper,, I like it and Fan base In addition, we jumped to the top of the application store as an alternative. Interestingly, social apps Re -notebook and Lemon 8 Even if it is owned by the Chinese Banned Similarly.
What is next? I have a lot of questions President extension is legal。 Expert warns him The presidential decree is likely to be, and some people say “Tactoku's high -tech partner is facing a great legal risk by relying on Trump's promises.” Google and Apple are playing safely and pulling apps from stores that do not provide new tiktok downloads.
If transactions are made in a short period of time, this is all discussed. Betting dance was previously soldIt is impossible“China Recently signaled It is open for transactions. The offer is at the table.
One comes from a billionaire Frank Macat's Advoca Sea Group's Project Tribati. group I sent an official offer letter On January 9th, bait dance. This $ 20 billion card play removes algorithms that have been long -awaited but controversial. Other rumors suggest that Chinese officials were considering A. Sales to ELON MUSK。
Tactoku is solid I denied thisPresident Trump also shouted that he was open to the chair of Musk and Oracle. Rally Ellison is buying it。 Certainly many players are coming to the table.
This drama is not suitable for the current center stage. Perhaps Tactoku is under American ownership, and these theaters end. Praise for the Supreme Court to support the land superbans. The decision is a gift for the safety of the United States, democracy, and the safety of our children. Now, it's time to accomplish this.
