It's not a smoking gun, it's 'a loaded gun' suggests NSA's Rob Joyce
Imagine a brain jack inserted into the neural network of two-thirds of our youth under the age of 25 who spend more time on TikTok than any other media source combined, and then imagine how easy it would be to put your thumb on the scale of anti-American content and recognize that they would be stupid not to elegantly, insidiously, covertly raise a generation of American civic, nonprofit, military, government leaders who, day by day minute by minute, just feel a little shittier about America.
According to Joyce, TikTok gives the Chinese government"a tremendous strategic capability." It's not a smoking gun, but rather"a loaded gun," he warned. "You can read their strategies about the threats they pose – not today, not tomorrow, but they're thinking five, 10, 20 years out," Joyce continued."These are the types of tools that are going to give them the advantage on those time horizons. So don't provide it to them." ®
