We need to be viewing illicit finance and lack of financial transparency as a national security issue— @SecureDemocracy’s @JoshKirschGMF at #BrusselsForum Image
@SecureDemocracy @JoshKirschGMF .@JoshKirschGMF, Jesper Berg, Evika Silina, and @shustry talk illicit finance at #BrusselsForum. They discuss the impact of Russian political influence through illicit financial flows versus completely overt, above-board investments. Image
@SecureDemocracy @JoshKirschGMF @shustry .@shustry: How do you implement controls without directly discriminating against specific countries’ businesses?

One answer is in transparency of beneficial owners, says Evika Silina.

Heading into the midterms, nearly 30 percent of major-party candidates in Senate races and 1/5 in House races now have #TikTok accounts. Natsec concerns remain.

🚨New report out from me and Nash Miller @SecureDemocracy, and covered by @washingtonpost.🧵
securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/candidates-tik…
I told @Cat_Zakrzewski,“It’s very clear that TikTok is not ready for the onslaught of political content...And there’s a question whether TikTok — being owned by a Chinese company — can ever really be ready for handling U.S. political content responsibly.”
washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
National security concerns around data security on #TikTok and the enormous surface area for Chinese censorship/propaganda remain unresolved.

But that hasn't stopped US politicians from experimenting with the platform to reach its expansive base of young voters.

Tomorrow, the International Telecommunication Union votes on its next Secretary General in Bucharest, Romania.

US officials from @POTUS to @ABlinken to @StateCDP have taken an unprecedented interest in the vote of a technical body.

The internet’s future is at stake. 🧵
US candidate @DoreenBogdan is running on a platform of a “Trusted, Connected Digital Future” against Russia’s Rashid Ismailov, a former Telecom Minister and Huawei VP who is likely to support the emerging autocratic view of the future internet.
The @ITU is the world’s oldest UN agency (formerly the International Telegraph Union) and is a technical standards body where engineers and tech companies—but also governments—convene and vote on the protocols for emerging technologies from #6G to #AI.

The Biden admin and #TikTok have drafted a preliminary agreement to resolve national security concerns but face hurdles over the terms, as the platform negotiates to keep operating in the United States without major changes to its ownership structure.

I've written previously about what the threats of #TikTok are to democratic societies for @SecureDemocracy.

There are two main ones:
1⃣ Data exfiltration
2⃣ Information manipulation

So far, policy efforts such as via #CFIUS have focused chiefly on 1⃣ .

And for @lawfareblog on what the US and its democratic partners -- many of whom like Australia🇦🇺 have raised and continue to raise similar concerns -- should be doing.

To outcompete autocrats, democracies need affirmative strategies & a positive vision for emerging technology.

Over the last 10 months ASD partnered w/@ISDglobal @Demos @SNFAgoraJHU on *The Good Web Project* to articulate a vision for an Internet compatible w/liberal democracy.🧵 Image
Democratic tech cooperation is on the rise, from the Quad 🇦🇺🇮🇳🇯🇵🇺🇸Critical & Emerging Tech Working Group, to the proposed EU-US Trade & Tech Council.🇪🇺🇺🇸

Many initiatives rightly seek to unite democracies to contest the rise of techno-authoritarianism.
securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/future-interne…
But while there is a growing consensus among developed democracies on what they are pushing against, there is considerably less understanding of what they are striving for.

And wide-ranging differences across the democratic spectrum on technology issues complicate coherence.

Parler back up thanks to Russian DDoS protection software DDoS-Guard IP.

Fun fact: DDoS-Guard IP also hosts the official website for Hamas.
It remains to be seen how much the platform will reconstitute itself, but the foreign influence implications of a Russia-based host of Americans’ speech are deeply troubling.
According to @AdamSculthorpe, the Parler website domain is registered with Epik, which services Gab, InfoWars, and The Daily Stormer. Extremist sites connect beyond the surface layer of the internet.

Beijing is making a concerted push to lead the Future Internet, across infrastructure, application, and governance domains.

It's time for democracies to push back.

In a new report, I detail this effort and provide 47 recs for the US, Europe, & allies.

As @washingtonpost writes, "The report from the Alliance for Securing Democracy at the German Marshall Fund lays out steps U.S. officials need to take to compete with China in the race for emerging technologies" @Joseph_Marks_ @TonyaJoRiley

Let's dig in!
washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…
Democracies and autocracies are engaged in a contest for the soul of the Internet.

Just as our current Internet of mobile apps was a step change from the world of dial-up, the "Future Internet" will have just as significant impacts on our information environment & our democracy.
