as difficult as jaila. mariam finally got her immigration case number. the procedure has started. she hopes that she will begin a new life in the united states. almost 2 years after the taliban took over. and you're up to date up next on d. w is i'll take show shifts, and the privacy worries over the chinese aren't video sharing up, tick tock, that's after i shall break. ah, what secrets lie behind these walls? discover new adventures in 360 degrees. and explore fascinating world heritage sites. d, w. world heritage is 360. get the app now that

we're interest in the global economy. our portfolio d w. business beyond here, the closer look at the project. our mission to analyze the fight for market dominance. east, this is west. getting still ahead with the w business beyond with, with over 1000000000 use us take talk is a world wide success, but governments are concerned as take top belongs to a chinese company called the chinese government have access to our data and use the platform to manipulate us is tick tock, the ultimate propaganda tool. ah, shoot. anyone can make impressive videos on their smartphone using take talk. i

like to play around with it too. i dance the company behind tick tock came up with a pretty clever concept, but not everyone is enjoying tick tock, because the company is based in beijing. chinese by athens, employees have access data from european and the mirror can use us. the e u has started taking measures to prevent this in the u. s. a ban on take there is currently being heavily debated. company c e o shows he chew was already grilled by you as lawmakers over data security. so what's really going on a tick tock ah, my dance connex looked solve personal data from tick tock to uses. nobody knows what is saved on the service and for how long or whether the chinese government has ranking access to it. in only 2023 tick tock, state security regulations were updated. if you can send the following day to will be saved, direct messages, location data, use a content. purchasing information,

contacts, surveys, research and advertisement. 3rd party platforms and partners, device and network data, personal information, duration and frequency usage. this basically means essentially when you agree to it, it says it a contractor keystrokes, so it essentially knows what you're doing and what you're saying to people on your mobile phone, which is effectively and knows what you're saying and doing with anybody. so as soon as we join the platform, we continue to take talk, connecting and passing on our data. there's no way for users to avoid agreeing to this other platforms like facebook, instagram, and youtube will so collect lots of data though. so what's the difference at all it's collecting more data would i would say is that the danger in there,

i tick tock might be more of an existential threat to the west than the traditional type players is at the top players violated our privacy as a means of making money and they're not bad actors in the sense that they're not a threat to national security, their threat, your privacy, there might be a threat, your mental health. they might be a threat or elections. there might be a threat in terms of misinformation, but they are intentions are around monetization of that violation of privacy. mike dellinger has insisted that the chinese government does not have access to the data and that he gets processed only in the us singapore and the e u. however, investigative reports and whistleblowers have proven that employees in china also have access to all the information. so in a nutshell, take talk cannot guarantee that its data will not be accessed by the chinese

government as uses. we should be aware with what data we agree to share when we sign up on the app. the majority of young people under the age of 30 spent the majority of their media consumption on one t detail. would we be comfortable if that tv channel was controlled by the chinese communist? pardon? would we be okay with that? i would say no, we are. these are bold claims. there's no concrete evidence of chinese governmental control of take talk as of yet. and content don't take talk is not only created in china, but from users around the world. at the same time, take talks, algorithms influence what we see on our for you page. this allows was certain opinions to be pushed while others are suppressed, but the same is true for algorithm commute. you facebook and instagram in the u. s . these are trusted. after all, they only want to make money. many members of congress would like to get rid of ticked up though 24 days have already banned the ab from official devices and in

all official why fi networks. and a recent u. s. senate bill could even give president biden the power to band tick tock across the country. will the largest tick tock, nation in the world, need a new playground soon? data espionage on tick tock as you, as president donald trump had already tried to band the app. the current u. s. government views tick tock as a national security threat to government officials can't use tick tock on their work for the danger with her dog is that there is no separation between the ccp and any chinese company. and the ccp has a vested interest in the denigration of the decline of western power in. so what you have is not only the same level privacy violation, but it might be used to raise a generation of people in europe and u. s. civic, non profit, military government leaders who feel worse about the west. take talk as

a propaganda and spy to more countries than just the u. s. are concerned in january of this year that you won't take talk to respect you law and ensure europeans uses data was safe. tick tock has also been banned from official government devices in canada. and the u. banning. the chinese up entirely is being debated as fear of its influence, especially around elections of high these intelligence organizations see themselves our competitors about our enemies and have a vested interest in diminishing our success, or electing candidates. they feel are more russia or china friendly. so why on earth would they stall our chinese intelligence services manipulating asked via take talk? well, for this to be true, the chinese government would have to directly instruct by dance to push certain content. that seems a little unlikely to me. but there's also more to by dance than algorithms, some content like clips tag with algy bbq drugs or porn ah censored. is that

a reason to band tick tock? in 2020 the indian government decided to do exactly that. the reason was ongoing conflicts along the border between india and china. 60 chinese apps and games are currently restricted in india. is this the way to deal with chinese technology? people in india have been living without to take talk since 2020, the uncertainty of a data security was one of the reasons for the ban. the market reacted immediately . don't bands actually created a vacuum in the market because a lot of theaters will oh, cleared in gordon county and did the ban. it give opportunities for many in entrepreneurs to come in and fill that particular gap. new platforms that are similar to tick tock where quickly developed like joshua and wash for content creators. this marked a new era. so why did the dog band was at one given point of time?

french lake loss, but it also gave a lot of opportunity to wander and getting into because then it was a lot of money that was flushed through the corner. include vessel them, they can be on certain black form and i cracked 2nd guy enough. what do you take told had more than 200000000 uses in india. what do people think? because the new apps replacing it? i use streams or to go because it was majorly ungodly, forward or short videos, only these days i use the instagram we use. so i think the days behind on things because we don't get to know really what, what's happening in the way before, please. so we are, i, mr. on the platform of have profited from the take took band in india and dependency on and chinese technologies is decreasing. other countries see this as an alternative model for the future? data protection is one thing,

but many experts also one that the app is highly addictive. short self produced user videos have become a real trend because of tick tock. instagram in youtube. i'm trying to copy the idea, but so far they haven't been able to match the original so what is ticked up doing right? here are the top 3 factors for the algorithm success. take talks, feed has variety, and is entertaining. the algorithm chooses which videos pop up on before you page. they include videos that have gone viral, as well as unknown creators. people around the world create content. so the choice is huge, targets hundreds of signals every hour, so it can be going to calibrate in on the type of content that keeps you focused on tick tock, maintain your attention, maintain your engagement, and the magic of tick tock that anyone who uses tick tock for longer than a couple hours can confirm,

is that your tick tock is different than mine. the full content made by uses the quality does not have to be perfect. anyone creating content on trending topics, accompanied by the right music, could be successful. creative and authentic ideas are what counts most any one can go viral on take talk overnight. the signal liquidity in the power the algorithm is able to create the ultimate streaming network for you. in the us household spend 11 to 15 minutes a day, deciding what to watch. we talk, you don't have to make any decisions. it's one channel and it knows exactly what kind of content you want, cuz the algorithm 0 going on and it creates the ultimate, most pleasurable, most rewarding and low energy, low energy commitment around decision streaming media service and history keeping uses on the platform for as long as possible, tick tock has perfected it, uses spend around 1.5 hours on it, more than anywhere else. facebook uses only stay for about 45 minute tick tock.

algorithm follows a statistical principle. we're trying to our sample as upset help people to see their way that they like hold with york or not. so if the answer is yes, they're trying to continue to increase the size. and then in the worst case, if last, then tried to limit the number of breach. so that's why you can see that in this i would have from some of the we, the old ghost really library talk is more addictive than other platforms. a video that grabs your attention leads to dopamine, being released in our this makes us happy and we want to reproduce the feeling and regular intervals, tick, tock shows us videos that keep us hooked. is it really just a i that makes tick tock. so successful is still a to without that for the isa is somebody place and on, or because of her all the, i just see them from a breath. also i grew from and they take talk,

has many young uses this drawers in move people, gen z, create and consumes content on take talk with when people oddity to 30 were surveyed on whether they'd rather have tick tock or all other streaming media, netflix, hbo, everything majority of them chose tick tock. so you now have people under the age of 30 are spending more time on tick tock. there's all other media and there's tech talk on young people. take clark wins. mother networks the trying to copy tick, tock, recipe for success. so fall to no avail. and unbeatable algorithm data protection that's at least partly dubious, and over a 1000000000 users worldwide. that's take talk in a nutshell, genius or dangerous to we need tied or regulation, or do you love the pet on the way it is. be excited to hear from you bye for now. ah.
