The Rise and Fall of TikTok

TikTok is one of the only major social media networks in fact the only one that is not actually an American company.

Greg Anderson worked on psychological operations end quote for NATO and he left his job and immediately got put into TikTok as the new feature policy manager so basically deciding what sort of policies the company would go ahead with. The real danger in terms of surveillance comes from the US government and not some foreign entity, says Peter Bergen.
