FBI Director Wray Addresses Concerns About TikTok and National Security

Image
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. FBI Director Chris Wray recently raised national security concerns about TikTok, warning that the Chinese government, which does not share American values, controls the app. Tom Williams / Contributor | Getty Images The Associated Press reports that, while speaking at the University of Michigan's Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, Wray said the Chinese government could use the app to collect personal information on American users — information that could be used for nefarious purposes. "All of these things are in the hands of a government that doesn't share our values," Wray said, "and that has a mission that's very much at odds with what's in the best interests of the United States. That should concern us." The A.P. notes that President Donald Trump's administration attempted to b...

What Happened to Henry Cavill's Superman? The Out-of-Touch Adults' Guide to Kid Culture

Photo : Kathy Hutchins ( Shutterstock ) This week’s pop culture stew contains super men, super cars, and a super old game that kids are rediscovering. To add spice to the mix, I’m throwing in a pinch of “TikTok is the unlikely focus of an international power struggle.” Henry Cavill out as Superman Despite appearing as Superman in a cameo in Black Adam and announcing that he was returning to the role for another movie, actor Henry Cavill will not be starring in the next Superman movie. James Gunn, co-Head of Warner Bros. DC Comics Film and TV Unit, announced that a new Man of Steel flick is on the slate for release at some point in the future, but it will not star Cavill. According to Gunn, the still- untitled Superman m ovie takes place earlier in the hero’s life, so, presumably, it needs a younger actor to don the tights. Cavill confirmed that he would not be returning to the DC franchise on his Instagram, offering the following reassuring words to fans: “My turn to wear the c...

TikTok steps up efforts to clinch U.S. security deal

Image
Popular short-video app TikTok is offering to operate more of its business at arm’s length and subject it to outside scrutiny as it tries to convince the U.S. government to allow it to remain under the ownership of Chinese technology company ByteDance, according to people familiar with the matter. TikTok has been seeking to assure U.S. government departments and agencies for the last three years that the personal data of U.S. citizens cannot be accessed and its content cannot be manipulated by China’s Communist Party or any other entity under the influence of that country’s government. Last year, President Joe Biden revoked an executive order by his predecessor Donald Trump to ban TikTok in the United States, but negotiations between his administration and the social media company continued over a potential deal that would address the security concerns. U.S. lawmakers seeking to crack down on China as part of broader set of disputes over trade, intellectual property and human rights ...

U.S. Senator Josh Hawley wants to ban TikTok nationwide

Image
U.S. Senator Josh Hawley, a Republican and China hawk, said on Tuesday that he would introduce a bill to ban the short video app TikTok in the United States. TikTok, whose parent is the Chinese company ByteDance, already faces a ban that would stop federal employees from using or downloading TikTok on government-owned devices. “TikTok is China’s backdoor into Americans’ lives. It threatens our children’s privacy as well as their mental health,” he said on Twitter. “Now I will introduce legislation to ban it nationwide.” Hawley did not say when the bill would be introduced. TikTok said in a statement that Hawley was taking the wrong approach. “Senator Hawley’s call for a total ban of TikTok takes a piecemeal approach to national security and a piecemeal approach to broad industry issues like data security, privacy and online harms,” said spokeswoman Brooke Oberwetter. “We hope that he will focus his energies on efforts to address those issues holistically, rather than pretending that ...
