TikTok: One US Government Agency Is Not Addicted
July 6, 2022
“U.S. FCC Commissioner Wants Apple and Google to Remove TikTok from Their App Stores” appears to have avoided the digital addiction which some attribute to TikTok. As I have pointed out in my lectures, some Silicon Valley “real news” types are just thrilled with TikTok. Others, like myself, view the app with considerable suspicion. It appears that the UD Federal Communications Commission has some doubts as well.
The write up states:
A leader of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission said he has asked Apple and Google to remove TikTok from their app stores over China-related data security concerns.
The article points out:
- A China connection
- Data hoovering
- A surveillance tool.
The real news folks did not mention TikTok’s usefulness as a psyops weapon.
Oh, well. Why would psyops be important? Possibly manipulation, blackmail, weaponized information. Yeah, no big deal.
