I’m referring more so to random people getting on TikTok professing to being experts and fooling people into believing nonsense. Or random people radicalizing others via their POV. There’s a slew of things that unchecked can be harmful. My view on this is for all social media though, not just TikTok.
As far as government propaganda, we’ve already seen how Russia is using US social media. Imagine what they could do if it was Russia owned. Maybe China doesn’t have that intent but it is a risk.
The general populace is dumb and believes whatever aligns with their internal dialogue. Confirmation bias is huge in the US. Especially if it’s related to the US government. There’s already a distrust so it’s not hard to push people to believe outlandish conspiracies.

It’s deeper than getting paid. AI needs data to to machine learn and get smarter and social media is the the perfect feed. Tiktokers basically sending free data to China to beef up their AI. After reading the book AI superpowers i can see why US would be wary of something like Tiktok
We don’t know what China doing with this information and China control information in their own country. Turn on the media and it’s all China positive and foreign negative so it’s not like China doing us a favor in all this

If people on twitter, facebook and insta all have their pages and posts public the AI could still scrape that data though. Its an extra step from getting it directly from your own app but its still doable

The page don’t need to be public for AI to scrape the data. Company selling ur data either way. I don’t believe when they give you the option of not sharing data, that’s a bunch of lies. We already seen google going through a lawsuit that incognito mode still be tracking ppl
It's all about control. Always is.

Europe has TikTok but you don’t see them screaming national security, ohh that’s right because they GDPR that protects the data of all their users.
Byte dance and selling shit, it’s worth too much to give away. They gonna dare the US to radicalize the youth in a election year.
