Episode notes

Blau: I think you can trust a black box algorithm controlled by the Chinese Communist Party to run a mark in Western nations. On top of ideology, on top of the fact that China doesn't have a fair information flow happening within its tech and information industries, there's a fact that CCP directly controls these apps. And it's a threat because they're not ideologically aligned. It's like in the past, they've blunted news about Tiananmen Square on TikTok because the Chinese government doesn't want to talk about Tiananman Square.
