1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Is dojikat I think you know one or two points 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: having kiss that fam, that's where you are. Good morning. 3 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: I think the question here is this issue. I want 4 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,319 Speaker 1: to talk about this because everything is TikTok talk talk 5 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,719 Speaker 1: talk talk talk talk talk, right, and we're going to 6 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: talk about TikTok. It's in the news, regulators talking about 7 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,639 Speaker 1: shutting it down right because of it being possibly a 8 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: spy source for our data overseas exactly, So you can 9 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 1: break it down. Then I have a question about it. 10 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: But let's go. Well, I don't even know if I 11 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: have the answer for you, but yeah, it feels like 12 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 1: every day there's a new rumor about TikTok being banned 13 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: here in the US. But I think when it comes 14 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 1: down to it, banning TikTok isn't as simple as flipping 15 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: a switch and deleting the app from everyone's phone. It's 16 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: a major political decision that balances national security with freedom 17 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: of speech. Right. The big issue is what is the 18 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: relationship between TikTok and the Chinese government. So you have 19 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: the answer. The question that a lot of people have 20 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: is do they have users info? So if you ask TikTok, 21 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: the company is going to tell you that it has 22 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: not and would not give US user data to the 23 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: Chinese government. But TikTok is owned by byte Dance, a 24 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: company based in Beijing, China. So TikTok has been working 25 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: hard to convince everyone that it has protections in place 26 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: that wall off US user data from byte Dance and 27 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 1: by extension, the Chinese government. So they're saying, I mean, 28 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: not supposed to. We're supposed to just believe them like 29 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: at this point, right, And one academic study found that 30 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: TikTok does not have data collection practices that are more 31 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: of a threat than any other social media site, which 32 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: is not very comforting either itself. I know. So will 33 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: it get banned? That is the big question. And it 34 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: actually has been banned on government devices in some states 35 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: and some university's Wi Fi systems. That may tell you something. 36 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: What if it's banned on government devices, I mean, that 37 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: may tell you something. They know more than we know. Now. Listen, 38 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: here's the thing. So all your information from your phone 39 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: or your phone pots whatever, if that could be taken 40 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: and used by unapproved parties, would you be fine with that? Yeah, Disney, 41 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: I mean I don't have anything on my phone that's 42 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: like riveting, so you'd be fine. Could you live without TikTok? 43 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: What did they shut it down? Could you live without TikTok? 44 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: I think I could. Yes, I would like to. But 45 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: but why can you? Why can't another app be created? Exactly? 46 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: Why can't something with the same kind of software Instagram 47 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: social media? Hey, David Alvarez, don't you know much about 48 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: social media? And that your wheelhouse? Yeah, that's that's me 49 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: Just so couldn't another app do the same thing TikTok does? Yeah? 50 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: I mean Instagram's already doing it too, so they just 51 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: take over. They have it with right, so if it 52 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: goes away, it's your reels. Yeah right, I mean I'm 53 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: not sweat too, me too? Yeah, you're right? Are you sweating? 54 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: You got up every morning? Sweatness? No?
