"Lawmakers Criticize TikTok CEO over National Security Concerns"
기사요약: 국가 안보 문제로 TikTok CEO에게 비판
TikTok의 부모 회사인 ByteDance가 중국에 기반을 두고 있기 때문에 미국 국회 의원들은 인기 있는 소셜 미디어 앱 TikTok과 그 회사에 대해 우려를 표명하고 있습니다. 미국에서 1억 5천만 명 이상의 사용자가 있는 이 앱은 국가 안보 문제로 금지될 가능성이 있습니다. 의원들은 중국 정부가 이 앱을 이용하여 미국 사용자를 감시하고 프로파간다를 전파할 수 있다는 우려를 표명하고 있습니다.
We are starting today with the latest news from Capitol Hill, where the CEO of TikTok is facing withering criticism from lawmakers. The app, which reportedly has 150 million users in the United States alone, is facing a potential US ban over national security concerns. This stems from the fact that its parent company, ByteDance, is based in China. On Thursday, some lawmakers made their case at the TikTok Congressional hearing. "We do not trust TikTok will ever embrace American values - values for freedom, human rights, and innovation. TikTok has repeatedly chosen the path for more control, more surveillance, and more manipulation. Your platform should be banned, now," said one of the lawmakers.
The CEO, Sho Chu, is pushing back hard, saying the app is not a vehicle for the Chinese government to spy or spread propaganda in the United States, and that its new security model has American users' data being stored in America by an American company. "The bottom line is this: American data stored on American soil by an American company overseen by American personnel. We call this initiative 'Project Texas'. That's why Oracle is headquartered here. Today, US TikTok data is stored by default in Oracle service, only vetted personnel operating in a new company called TikTok US Data Security can control access to this data," said Chu in his testimony yesterday.
According to CNN business writer Claire Duffy, there are a range of concerns about TikTok, but the main concern is really rooted in TikTok's connection to China. TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, is based in China, and lawmakers are concerned that the Chinese government could use that connection to access US user data. TikTok collects a range of data from its users, including users' location, IP addresses, what type of device they're using, and even what users are typing on their keyboards. Under Chinese Communist Party laws, the Chinese government can demand TikTok hand over that data, and so it's really a range of data.
Some of it, like what type of device users are accessing TikTok on, may seem trivial. However, some lawmakers are concerned that other information, like location data, could be used for intelligence operations for certain individuals using the app. That's why a lot of state governments have banned government officials from using the app on their phones. These concerns aren't without merit. In December of 2022, ByteDance admitted that employees within the company had access to personal data of at least two foreign journalists, including information about their location.
The US government, its military, multiple state governments, the EU, UK, and Canada have all restricted the use of TikTok on government devices, citing security concerns. There's also the fear that TikTok could be used to spread propaganda to US users, which would affect users much more broadly than just government officials. However, TikTok's Chief Operating Officer told Congress that the company would not give US user data to the Chinese government but avoided saying whether or not its parent company, ByteDance, would do the same.
In the end, it's pretty safe to say that if TikTok was owned by a US-based company, you wouldn't be hearing anything at all about national security concerns. After all, many apps on your phone are already collecting similar data that TikTok does, including your location. It's a question of whether you're comfortable with your data being shared with any app. People should be asking themselves this question not only about TikTok but also about all the apps that they use on their phones.

10 Second Trivia
Protests in France Over Proposed Pension Reform
요약: 프랑스 정부의 연금제도 개혁안으로 인한 시위가 계속되고 있다. 현재 연금 수령 연령을 62세에서 64세로 올리는 계획이 제안되어 있으며, 이에 반대하는 시위대는 이것이 노동자 계층과 여성들에게 불리할 것이라 주장하고 있다. 시위로 대중교통, 석유 산업 등이 영향을 받았으며 파리에서는 폭력적인 시위와 쓰레기 쟁탈도 일어났다. 정부는 불신 선거를 겪었지만 계획은 법안으로 통과될 가능성이 높다. 하지만 이러한 연금제도 개혁안은 극우, 극좌, 중도 정치세력 등으로부터 반대를 받고 있으며, 이러한 시위는 마크롱 대통령의 2차 대선 출마에도 영향을 미칠 수 있다.
"Add over 200,000 square miles, France is about the size of one and a half Californias or two Colorados. We're heading to France now, where the country continues to face ongoing protests over the government's plan to overhaul the pension system. The government wants to change the national retirement age from 62 to 64. The government says the current system is already not economically sustainable and says that citizens are living longer now, so something needs to change. Here's CNN Senior International Correspondent Sam Kiley on the ground in Paris with more, violent protests, garbage on the streets, and two no-confidence votes. President Macron's plan to overhaul the French pension system has caused uproar. But why all the fuss? As France's population ages and the French live longer, the government here says that it can't afford the pension scheme that allows retirement at 62, so it's raising the majority pensionable age to 64. Opponents of the reform argue that the changes will hit blue-collar workers because they start work earlier in life and women unfairly. The opposition has been vocal and strikes have hit across the country since mid-January. Parisian streets have been choked with 10,000 tons of rubbish as a result of a garbage collectors' strike, but public transport and even the oil industry have been affected. Aside from the content of the reforms, many in France have been upset by the manner in which they've been run through without parliamentary support, fearing that the law wouldn't secure a majority vote for pension reform in the National Assembly. LaCroix Prime Minister invoked a constitutional mechanism that allows the president to force fiscal legislation onto the statute book without a vote. And that sparked nationwide demonstrations and violence in Paris, especially on Monday. The government survived two National Assembly no-confidence votes. The bills are now likely to become law and Macron faces opposition from the French far-right, the far-left, and a sizable chunk of the center. And the anger against the reforms show no signs of ending and could hobble his second term in the Elysee Palace."
