How TikTok Tricked America

ABOUT JOHN COOGAN:

I've been an entrepreneur for the last decade across multiple companies. I've done a lot of work in Silicon Valley, so that's mostly what I talk about. I've raised over 10 rounds of venture capital totaling over $100m in funding.

I work mostly in tech-enabled consumer packaged goods, meaning I use software to make the best products possible

So the US is annoyed because a foreign company is acting in the US like US companies act in other countries? Right, got it.

Lol dude said “zuck was trying to crack the Chinese problem” and shows his wife 😂😂😂

[UXtatic]

Why aren't they looking at Alibaba and many other companies where the CEOs were silenced when they began to speak out about the Chinese govt? TikTok isn't any different.

The worst thing about TikTok and Facebook is that it makes its users dim uninterested and unproductive people

[TouchofDepth]

Calling Youtube and Facebook a free speech platform is a stretch, but yes I agree we should ban TikTok

[AwokenEntertainment]

the way we all understand how corrupt TikTok is, but still use it is absolutely crazy..

[Super-idbq]

Everyone: "Social media companies are spying on us and it sucks!"
Also everyone: "Man I sure can't get enough of this CCP state sponsored malware that I voluntarily installed on all my devices lol"

I just deactivated tiktok a few days ago and other platforms for a detox I found it all with the same captions and truama people drop onto others and it’s completely overwhelming and to be brainwashed everyday. I’m slowly starting to see myself heal and feel better about life rather than scrolling and engaging into mediocre content 24/7

I've never understood the TikTok situation until now, after watching this. This is the best information ℹ️ I've gotten regarding TikTok and it's ban in America

[RocketDCP]

so happy someone’s bringing attention to this

[flazerflint]

This guy is incredible on explaining respect to this guy

[wesj]

Love the new lighter tone and delivery while providing the same deep fact based content. Well done John!

Wait…is this the first time you read about corporate structure?

The board provides the goal for the company, the ceo shapes the direction, and MD manages translates the vision to operational practicality.

[Ciscoparadox]

This isn’t literal trickery it’s legit how Bytedance is a giant. The same way Alphabet is. Alphabet’s CEO isn’t the same as YouTube’s is it?

[gonzalos]

American social medias have long enjoyed the free pass almost around the globe, it's time that every other country starts to question if that power should be allowed or taken so lightly. Obviously American can question CCP's integrity but these day's with American‘s paranoid politician, I don'k think a ban a TikTok can really help solve the insecurity issue.

[viper]

Why this app isn't already banned or force sold to an American company at this point just blows my mind

[Kannot]

Ban all the social media sh*t, TikTok, FB, Instagram, Twitter. People will have more real relationships.

This video makes %100 sense. There is not a single detail that I find incomplete or unnecessary. Your story hit me hard and inspired me even more. I hope we can perform the actions that we decide to take

[YS-yllt]

There is an important point, data of us citizen will be stored in amaerica by america company by americam, and ticktock source code is even open to be reviewed.

[RomanBartocci]

This was a great video, great insight on the intermingling of tech and politics, bravo ... look forward to the new debut!
