Democratic Sen Michael Bennet spoke of his proposals to rein in the dominance of digital platforms at The Internet’s Midlife Crisis conference at the University of Colorado Boulder.
The change from the analog world to the digital one during the past two decades has been vast but fast, with little to no regulation. On Sunday, Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet spoke of his proposals to rein in the dominance of digital platforms at The Internet’s Midlife Crisis conference at the University of Colorado Boulder.
On Thursday, Bennet called on Apple CEO Tim Cook and Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai to encourage them to remove TikTok from their respective app stores, as the app poses a risk to U.S. national security. In a press release, Bennet said that TikTok collects “vast and sophisticated data from its users” and is obligated under Chinese law to have its Beijing-based parent company hand over its data to the Chinese government.
A CU Boulder student asked Bennet if calling for Apple and Google to take down TikTok would set a dangerous precedent for apps being removed by private companies. Bennet responded that the concern of American data being given to another country’s government is a matter of national security. Bennet also said that the app could also be regulated rather than banned.
