Nicolas Chaillan: CCP Is Using TikTok to Manipulate Americans, Gather Data for AI Weapons | TEASER

TikTok is one of the Chinese regime's most powerful weapons of mass manipulation and misinformation, argues Nicolas Chaillan, former Chief Software Officer of the U.S. Air Force and Space Force. TikTok was the most downloaded app globally and in the United States in 2021. The Chinese regime is using TikTok to manipulate Americans—particularly the younger generations. And it’s gathering enormous amounts of data, from voice prints to face prints, to power the next generation of AI weapons, Chaillan says. At the same time, the best and the brightest are leaving the Department of Defense, Chaillan says. “When you hear the DoD talk about focusing on climate change and focusing on domestic terrorism as the number one threat, that's just plain nonsense…If China is not the number one threat, I don't know where these people have been living, but they're not on the same planet.”
