PSA: TikTok is Chinese and FaceApp is Russian. Safe to assume those governments can readily access your data if you use these apps.
GenZ: I’m bored. Let’s give data to the Chinese Communist Party.

GenX: I’m bored. Let’s give data to the Kremlin.
ICYMI: I did the homework on TikTok. If you used the app before 2019, your data was definitely transferred into the People’s Republic of China. After 2019, I’d say the government can get it if they want it. qz.com/1613020/tiktok…
Can’t tell you how many folks are pointing out the NSA to me. I just assumed Snowden’s revelations were common knowledge. Whataboutists gonna whatabout. Wait until they see me discuss data and surveillance on Netflix.
Contradictory statements from FaceApp CEO with what’s stated in their privacy policy. So, like all apps (yes, American apps too, sheesh), use at your own risk, think twice. EU residents should know that FaceApp is likely not GDPR compliant, in any event. washingtonpost.com/technology/201…
Many have harshly trolled the original tweet because I didn’t also mention Facebook and Google but luckily this news story points out that a week from tomorrow there will be a movie on Netflix where I deal with that. #TheGreatHack usatoday.com/story/tech/new…
Well that escalated quickly…

FTC suing #CambridgeAnalytica for deceptive practices and violating #PrivacyShield international data security framework. #TheGreatHack
natlawreview.com/article/ftc-fi…
Corporate structure cheat sheet:

Cambridge Analytica Holdings LLC > Emerdata Ltd > SCL Group Ltd* > SCL Elections Ltd** > Cambridge Analytica LLC***

* acquired by Emerdata and SCL Insights Ltd
** liquidated in UK
*** abandoned bankruptcy in US
SCL didn’t bother renewing its UK govt export controls. Too much paperwork said Nigel Oakes* per Brittany Kaiser. Didn’t renew PrivacyShield either demolishing Cambridge Analytica’s prior claims it honored all applicable data protection laws & treaties.
*Now owns SCL Insights Ltd

#TheGreatHack on #MorningJoe this morning with @Karim_Amer33 and Brittany Kaiser talking Mueller, taming the big tech beast, preparing for 2020 election, and the key realization of the film that we have no data rights in the USA. #5000datapoints msnbc.com/morning-joe/wa…
Key moment when @Karim_Amer33 articulated how the Mueller-indicted Russian intelligence information warfare social media op and Cambridge Analytica information warfare op are similar and just two influence operations that simply used Facebook as it wants to be used. #TheGreatHack
Ooops. That comment was referencing the longer interview in the afternoon.

Thanks so much for hosting this tonight, John. A very special occasion and opening of a new conversational thread, and critical for it to be situated within the NYC tech industry community like this.
It’s actually possible that NY State could pass a new data protection law even stronger than California’s. #TheGreatHack helps ignite interest in voters to demand data rights from Albany. NYC would birth a new data rights driven internet wired.com/story/new-york… by @issielapowsky
Getting bills in Statehouses squeezes the data industry by the balls so then they squeeze Mitch McConnell’s to even put preemption up for discussion. Gives voters some federalist leverage to extract concessions from the industry lobby in exchange for preemption. #TheGreatHack

Secret Deal for #Chinese Naval Outpost in #Cambodia Raises #US Fears of Beijing’s Ambitions - Use of Ream naval base would help China’s military project power across a broad swath of Southeast Asia wsj.com/articles/secre…
China has signed a secret agreement allowing its armed forces to use a Cambodian navy base near here, as Beijing works to boost its ability to project military power around the globe, according to U.S. and allied officials familiar with the matter.
The pact—signed this spring but not disclosed by either side—gives China exclusive rights to part of a Cambodian naval installation on the Gulf of Thailand, not far from a large airport now being constructed by a Chinese company.

‼️ BREAKING:
Last week, @EpochTimes was contacted by two NBC reporters who posed a series of highly inappropriate questions about the religious beliefs of our staff.

Here is our open letter response. theepochtimes.com/our-response-t…
The NBC reporters questioned the religious beliefs of some of our @EpochTimes staff members, sought to discredit their beliefs, attacked our journalism based on personal opinion rather than objective analysis, and even sought out information on the personal lives of our staff.
Unfortunately, the bane of #Journalism today is the all-too-common practice of writing news to conform to a pre-existing narrative or agenda. The best journalism of the past had the truth as its standard, not political advantage.

When #China Massacred Its Own People - “Lies written in ink cannot disguise facts written in blood.” nytimes.com/2019/06/01/opi…
Thirty years ago in the spring of 1989, as the world’s most populous country teetered on the edge of freedom, I received a late-night phone call in my apartment in Beijing: The Chinese Army was invading its own capital.
Students made roads impassable by setting up barricades to block the army, so I got on my bicycle & pedaled furiously toward the gunfire. I reached Tiananmen Square shortly before the army & I watched as soldiers fired their automatic weapons directly at the crowd that I was in.

The idea of ​​unrestricted warfare has always run through the Chinese #Communist Party’s military practices, and has these characteristics: “a war beyond all boundaries and limits,” “forcing the enemy to accept one’s own interests by all means, including…theepochtimes.com/chapter-eighte…
…methods of force and non-force, military and non-military, killing and non-killing.”

“The means are all-inclusive, information is omnipresent, the battlefield is everywhere” — “beyond all political, historical, cultural, and moral shackles.”
Unrestricted warfare means that “all weapons and technologies can be used at will; it means that all the boundaries between the worlds of war and non-war, military and non-military are broken.”

From 'How the Specter of Communism is Ruling Our World,' Ch. 18.
