One Big
Thing: Would you be okay if TikTok and
other Chinese owned Apps were banned due to
invasion of your
privacy? | |
What is
it?
Why is it important?
- China
has been known to censor the internet but it
now has a method of easily exporting this
technology to other authoritarian regimes around
the world. Because it primarily uses cell
phones, it can also be easily distributed to the
masses and can be used to target youth
populations.
- China
has used its newfound place as a one of the
global tech leaders to create a new model of
governance over the internet and digital
communication. It has also focused on exporting
its technology around the world, including Venezuela,
Uzbekistan, Zimbabwe and others.
- China’s
influence around the world varies. Some
countries like South
Africa have embraced Chinese technology
while others like Great
Britain have rejected it completely. Inside
China, foreign tech is almost universally banned
including sites like Google, Facebook and
Twitter.
