TikTok Owner Had 'Backdoor' for CCP Access to US Data, Lawsuit Alleges
Social media access to user data (whether foreign or domestic) is bad, but it is a distraction from the real evil: behavioral management at scale. When you can target specific demographics and control what they see 8-10 hours of the day, you can change what they think, say, do, and most importantly, how they vote. People are literally being programmed (euphemistically, &quot;conditioned&quot;) by the specific triggers and stimuli with almost surgical precision, and completely unbeknownst to them. This is uncomfortable to recognize and discuss, so the conversation is sadly reduced to &quot;China&#x2F;AI is bad&#x2F;evil&quot; to further foment hate and division.
