DESCRIPTION
In this episode of Hacked Podcast, hosts Jordan Bloemen and Scott Francis Winder dive deep into the controversial discussion surrounding TikTok and its potential ban by the U.S. government.
They explore the complexities of data privacy and the role of Chinese-owned companies in accessing and utilizing Western user data through data brokers like AdTiger. The hosts explain how data flows from platforms such as Facebook, Google, and Twitter to intermediary companies, ultimately landing on Chinese servers, raising significant cybersecurity concerns. They examine the Cybersecurity Multi-Level Protection Scheme and its implications for user data security, questioning why TikTok is specifically targeted compared to other major tech companies. Bloemen and Winder also discuss the technical aspects of MAC address tracking and its role in data surveillance, highlighting the broader national security issues and geopolitical tensions affecting technology companies.
Throughout the episode, they critically analyze the motivations behind the proposed ban, the potential impact on data privacy, and the future of data security in an increasingly interconnected digital world. Please tune in to gain a comprehensive understanding of the TikTok debate and the intricate web of data management and the security challenges it presents.

Tiki Tok or not, the Chinese government has access to your data. The American government would never do anything like that. Just ask Ed Snowden.
