3:02 am
a modern day trojan horse. of the ccp used to surveil and exploit americans personal information. in other words, it's a spy born in her fun. i think that this legislation would damage our allegiances across the globe. bring more countries into china's vis beer, destroy jobs, here in the united states, and under cut, cor, american values of free speech and free enterprise. were china says the band by the u. s. is an abuse of state power neighborhoods only shoes yet, or how that war. as the world stop superpower, how unsure of itself can the usb to fear a young people's favorite up to such a degree. when the u. s. has been over stretching the concept of national security and abusing state power to suppress other countries. companies. we firmly opposed this wrong action issue in the us government should respect the principles of market economy and fair competition. parties or castro has more now from washington,
3:03 am
dc. the regulations, the protections that this bill is designed to strip from tick tock are, frankly, the only thing that stand between the social media app and the previous attempts to ban it across the united states. of course, by the trump administration. what this bill does is it would allow the current presidential ministration joe biden to ban ticked off across the nation if it is determined that the app is sharing private user data with anyone who is involved or controlled by china or the chinese government. this is a republican sponsored bill, it sponsor called tick tock, a trojan horse saying that it can be turned to spy on americans. and there have been a few democrats on this committee though, who have voiced that this proposal is too broad. and for that reason they are opposed to it. tick tock and it's spokesperson is trying to defend itself. they
3:04 am
point to measures taken within the last 2 years. to try to make safeguards for a sick, for example, storing all americans, user data and servers in the united states, not when then china. and in fact, there has been an ongoing lobbying effort from tick tock here in capitol hill and, and at the white house to work out a deal. and that still might be the case where the social media app is allowed to continue its operations in the us. so let's bring in michael. daniel, he's the chief executive officer of cyber threat alliance. joseph, lie from arlington in virginia. michael, good job. you were there. so the u. s. was followed the canadians on the european parliament in bunting tick tock from government issued phones for now. what exactly michael is the security threat posed by tick tock and how dangerous is it? well like for the app that you have on your phone that collects information and have access to things like your phones, camera, on your phones, microphone,
3:05 am
it can be used to collect information. even collect things are typically if the app is activated in some way without your, your knowledge of it. so those are the kinds of security threats that it can do. it could also track your phone calls or text messages or other things. so western governments of thing, look, tick tock is a national security national security threat, but isn't not a bit hypocritical michael when social media platform. facebook was accused of doing exactly the same thing years ago, having a huge amounts of use data to cambridge analytics. so how come we didn't ban facebook? where there are some differences in the sense that we're talking about here is whether or not the chinese government can compel tick tock to simply turn over user data and other things without any sort of form of due process. and that's a challenge that authoritarian regimes like china, like russia and others. you know, if you're a company operating in those countries,
3:06 am
you don't have any choice but to cooperate or collaborate with the government. unlike in the western countries where we have things like due process and you know, an independent judiciary. what i would say is that as with many of the social media platforms, they all pose some degree of risk. and everyone should be mindful of the amount of data. there's any sort of social media platform it's collecting about them. some analysts say the threat posed by tick tock is actually overblown, because bad actors can find troves of use the data elsewhere. i mean, many companies in the us are collecting tons of data all the time. well, i certainly think that the particular fewer over tick tock in particular may be in fact be a little bit overblown. the broader question about sort of how we put controls on what controls, how we put controls on various technologies. whether or not we're going to make distinctions among them based on their country of origin and things like that.
3:07 am
those are very big serious questions. and they're worth being debated. but i do agree that if, if i were trying to do intelligence collection and tick tock might not be at the top of my list, just a final thought to you, michael, how significant ben is this republican lead us house committee at this now debating whether to give the president the pilots are entirely ban picked up in america. is that ever likely to happen and doesn't then have broader implications for american civil liberties? well, i certainly think that it should be given serious consideration about whether or not we want the government to have the ability to actually restrict whether or not any americans can access things like applications that are, you know, without some sort of, you know, direct linked to causing immediate harm or something like that. i think there are very serious civil liberties implications and then we should be discussing this quite thoroughly. michael doesn't really to get your thoughts on your analysis.
3:08 am
thank you very much indeed, michael. thank you. thank you. thank you for having me. ah, in. now there are fears of a car outbreak in syria as it struggles to recover from the aftermath of the massive earthquakes that struck more than 3 weeks ago. the un humanitarian chief says the situation on the ground is dire and more international aid is needed. greg, demand, and density therefore critical items. tense being the obvious example, rising prices, australian supply chains, into the, into the region. jails beginning to fly and supplies detection border and also cross into damascus and aleppo. this is essential and most welcome of the markets no longer readily supplied. prosper operations, the son of these poor items. hence the need such costly but necessary.
