Unless Trump intervenes, the TikTok ban, set to go into effect in January, will soon silence 150M Americans. My latest mini-doc uncovers how the Israel Lobby and other Zionist organizations orchestrated the ban — whilst scapegoating China. Full video: youtu.be/aAoo-AHU4w8

📨 Just in 📄 **Appeals Court Upholds Law Requiring TikTok to Divest U.S. Assets or Face Ban** In a significant legal development, a federal appeals court has upheld a law that mandates TikTok to divest its U.S. assets by January 19th, 2025, or face being banned in the United States. This decision marks a critical point in the ongoing battle over national security concerns linked to TikTok's Chinese ownership by ByteDance. The ruling, issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, provides TikTok with a narrow window to comply with the divestiture requirement. However, there's a provision for leniency: if TikTok shows significant progress towards divestment, President Joe Biden has the authority to grant a one-time 90-day extension to the deadline. This law stems from fears that TikTok, under ByteDance, could be compelled to share U.S. user data with the Chinese government or could be used to influence American public opinion through its content algorithms. Despite TikTok's efforts to assure the U.S. government of its data protection measures through 'Project Texas' and partnerships with U.S. firms like Oracle, these assurances have not fully alleviated national security concerns. TikTok now faces a tight deadline to restructure its ownership in the U.S. market or risk being removed from app stores and potentially becoming inaccessible to the millions of American users who engage with the platform daily. The implications of this decision are vast, affecting not only TikTok's business model but also the digital expression and entertainment landscape in the U.S. TikTok has the option to appeal to the Supreme Court, but time is of the essence with the clock ticking towards the January deadline. President-elect Donald Trump's stance against a TikTok ban, as expressed during his campaign, adds another layer of uncertainty to how this situation might unfold, especially if he chooses to intervene once in office. #TikTok #ByteDance #TikTokBan #NationalSecurity #U.S.Law #AppealsCourt #Divestiture #ProjectTexas #DigitalRights #FreedomOfSpeech

Oggi su @LaRagione_eu spiego come l'ultima mossa del Dipartimento Giustizia U.S.A. cambia la sostanza del ricorso intentato da ByteDance. Parte tutto da #ProjectTexas. Piattaforma diplomatica o strumento di spionaggio? Anche su questo dovranno esprimersi i giudici.

The DOJ’s decision to drop claims that TikTok misled US consumers about data security is truly baffling. Demonstrating that ByteDance engineers in China can access TikTok user data is an open-and-shut case. This is a significant missed opportunity. au.finance.yahoo.com/news/do…

Kapitan Kot dalej opowiada o #Nvidia i powiązaniach z #Oracle. TikTok intensywnie rozwija swoje działania w obszarze AI, wykorzystując luki prawne, by korzystać z zaawansowanych chipów Nvidia. ByteDance, właściciel TikToka, nie może kupować chipów Nvidia do użytku w Chinach, więc wynajmuje je od Oracle w USA. Od 2022 roku amerykańskie firmy, takie jak Nvidia, mają zakaz sprzedaży swoich najbardziej zaawansowanych chipów AI do Chin. Jednak tam, gdzie istnieją luki, chciwe zysku korporacje je znajdą i wykorzystają. The Information opublikowało sensacyjny raport o tym, jak Oracle umożliwia ByteDance wynajem chipów Nvidia H100 do trenowania modeli AI na terenie USA. ByteDance, który według wielu amerykańskich prawodawców ma bezpośrednie powiązania z chińskim rządem, wynajmuje serwery w USA zawierające te cenne chipy od Oracle, aby trenować modele AI. Praktyka ta, choć sprzeczna z duchem amerykańskich regulacji, jest technicznie legalna, ponieważ Oracle jedynie wynajmuje chipy na terenie USA, a nie sprzedaje ich firmom w Chinach. Rząd USA zaostrzył przepisy dotyczące eksportu chipów do Chin w ramach narastających napięć między dwoma krajami. Administracja Bidena obawia się, że Chiny mogą wykorzystać zaawansowaną AI do celów wojskowych lub inwigilacyjnych albo zdobyć przewagę ekonomiczną. W kwietniu rząd USA przyjął dwupartyjną ustawę, która zmusza ByteDance do sprzedaży swoich operacji w USA lub stania przed groźbą zakazu działalności. ByteDance ma jednak czas do początku przyszłego roku na zawarcie umowy i pozywa rząd USA, co może opóźnić egzekwowanie przepisów. Chociaż ByteDance trenuje swoje modele w USA, "może być trudne powstrzymanie ich przed przesyłaniem wyprodukowanych modeli z powrotem do centrali w Chinach," według amerykańskich dostawców chmurowych i byłego pracownika Nvidia, którzy rozmawiali z The Information. To doprawdy spora luka prawna. Inicjatywa ByteDance, znana jako Project Texas, ma na celu odseparowanie operacji TikToka w USA od chińskiego kierownictwa, aby uspokoić obawy USA. Jednak byli pracownicy ByteDance opisali Project Texas jako "w dużej mierze kosmetyczny," twierdząc, że amerykański oddział firmy regularnie współpracuje z chińskim kierownictwem. ByteDance nie jest jedyną chińską firmą próbującą ominąć przepisy. The Information donosi, że Alibaba i Tencent również omawiają podobne umowy, aby uzyskać dostęp do poszukiwanych chipów. Te umowy mogą być trudniejsze do zlikwidowania, ponieważ mają własne centra danych w USA i nie muszą wynajmować serwerów od amerykańskich firm. Nie wszystkie firmy były tak skłonne jak Oracle do obchodzenia intencji prawa. "Dwie małe amerykańskie firmy chmurowe" odrzuciły oferty wynajmu serwerów z chipami Nvidia H100 dla ByteDance i China Telecom, ponieważ "wydawały się sprzeczne z duchem amerykańskich ograniczeń dotyczących chipów." Jednak Oracle, założone przez amerykańskiego biznesmena Larry’ego Ellisona i kierowane przez obecną CEO Safrę Catz, najwyraźniej uznało, że okazja do zysku dzięki technicznie legalnym obchodom jest zbyt kusząca, by ją odrzucić. Departament Handlu USA, który mógłby zamknąć tę lukę, może już być świadomy tych praktyk. Na początku tego roku departament zaproponował przepis, który wymagałby od amerykańskich dostawców chmurowych weryfikacji tożsamości zagranicznych klientów i powiadamiania USA, jeśli którykolwiek z nich trenowałby modele AI mogące być użyte w złośliwej działalności cybernetycznej. Jednak Departament Handlu ostatnio poinformował, że większość dostawców chmurowych nie zgadza się z propozycją, twierdząc, że "obciążenie dodatkowymi wymaganiami mogłoby przewyższać zamierzony zysk." W międzyczasie proponowana zasada, która mogłaby teoretycznie zatkać lukę, pozostaje w zawieszeniu.

Hear @JingYang from @TheInformation explain why Project Texas is now in limbo as it is regarded as a lose-lose situation: youtube.com/shorts/X_LJFBU4v… "Bear in mind another important piece to all of this is that  as we reported at some time, maybe from like late 2022 or 2023 CFIUS just stopped engaging with TikTok  on this data security plan. TikTok essentially chose to still go ahead. And in implementing  Project Texas is pretty much a voluntary thing. And also as a show of good faith.  But the idea is that Project  Texas should be run by a board. And then the appointees to the board need to be approved by CFIUS.  So without that, it remains incomplete. And then so this massive undertaking right now is still pretty much in limbo. Given the events in the past few weeks, right Project Texas has not really scored any points or any political points in the latest round of actions against TikTok. On the other hand, it has already created the additional operational bureaucracy and inefficiency I just talked about. Some people in TikTok feel like they are caught in a lose-lose situation." - Jing Yang TikTok: tiktok.com/@analyseasia/vide… Main Site: analyse.asia/will-tiktok-be-… Full YouTube Video: youtu.be/s05FsMCWDU4 Newsletter Signup: analyse.asia/#/portal/signup LinkedIn Page: linkedin.com/company/analyse… #tiktokban #tiktok #projecttexas

Project Texas strained @tiktok_us' resources and caused bureaucracy by @jingyanghk from @theinformation youtube.com/shorts/U6NLNQuD-… "As I mentioned earlier any changes made to the app in the U.S. If you want to roll out any new product features, they have to be approved by staff within U.S. Data Security or USDS. And so that just makes it very time-consuming. Another issue is that because the whole Project Texas, it never really got the stamp approval from CFIUS TikTok, in a way, is caught in this. 'Yes, we want to do this, but, we don't know if this is going to work. Then should we continue to throw our funding and resources?' And then so in a way, U.S. Data Security has been perceived as a dead end or like a B team like, say, okay, if your job is being transferred to U.S.D.S. Maybe that's seen as okay, your career is not really progressing. People don't. want to work there, that also created a different problem. So this is interesting, right? Because Chew Shou Zi came over as a CEO and he also took over the US negotiations How did he manage the negotiations?" - Jing Yang TikTok: tiktok.com/@analyseasia/vide… Main Site: analyse.asia/will-tiktok-be-… Full YouTube Video: youtu.be/s05FsMCWDU4 Newsletter Signup: analyse.asia/#/portal/signup LinkedIn Page: linkedin.com/company/analyse… #tiktokban #tiktok #projecttexas #bureaucracy #CFIUS #usds

#TikTok 's data security is robustly managed by #Oracle in Texas, under an initiative known as #ProjectTexas, ensuring that user data remains secure. The concern, therefore, is not about data compromise. Instead, the issue lies in the platform's capacity to facilitate the free exchange of narratives that diverge from the mainstream, controlled discourse. This is the crux of the government's motivation to ban TikTok—it aims to block access to real-time, unfiltered, and raw information that challenges the dominant narrative.

【華爾街日報:#TikTok 至今難守承諾,個資依舊跟中國「共享」】 看完整報導>>>inside.com.tw/article/34087-… 根據「華爾街日報」(The Wall Street Journal),TikTok 為讓美國議員相信其安全性,稱已投入 15 億美元,打造一個代號為「德州計畫」(Project Texas)的獨立特殊部門,負責監督 TikTok 應用程式上的美國數據和內容推薦。 TikTok 高層曾公開承諾自願隔離美國用戶數據,並引入工程師和第三方證明,其演算法內容傳輸不受中國干擾,但 TikTok 迄今難以兌現這些承諾。 根據 TikTok 現任和前員工提供的資訊,以及「華爾街日報」檢視過的內部文件,TikTok 高層有時會指示員工,與公司其他部門同事及中國母公司「字節跳動」員工分享數據,沒有透過官方管道。 本文來自中央社,INSIDE 授權轉載。 #抖音 #字節跳動 #ByteDance #資安 #演算法 #德州計畫 #ProjectTexas #科技 #科技新聞 #科技趨勢

#TikTok repeatedly violated #US law, so what does #JoeBiden do? Does he prosecute #China’s app? Nope. He gives the app a special deal so it can continue to steal data. Does anyone else see a fundamental flaw in the #Biden plan? #ProjectTexas @committeeonccp
.@TikTok_us’s #ProjectTexas would allow it to continue in the U.S. under CCP control. In a Final Rule, @CommerceGov seemingly opened the door to permit Project Texas. Last week, Chairman @chairmang and @SenMarcoRubio asked @SecRaimondo to clarify this dangerous rule.
