Q & A
Why does the speaker believe the US decided to ban TikTok?
-The speaker suggests that the direct cause of the US's decision to ban TikTok is not directly due to its relationship with China, but rather a reaction to increased legislative support following certain international events and TikTok's significant influence on public opinion in the US.
What are the three key observations made about the US's approach to banning TikTok?
-The key observations include the thorough preparation for the ban, the significant impact of the legislative measures, and the unanimous support across political parties, which is rare in the typically divisive US political landscape.
How did TikTok reportedly react to the US's legislative actions against it?
-TikTok was reportedly caught off guard by the sudden legislative actions, having been under the impression that their US operations were secure, which led to them being unprepared for the legislative moves.
What is the speaker's perspective on the real reason behind the US's push to ban TikTok?
-The speaker believes the push to ban TikTok is not solely due to national security concerns related to China but is also influenced by TikTok's significant market presence and its potential to disrupt traditional media and advertising models in the US.
How does the speaker describe the relationship between TikTok's content algorithm and political fear in the US?
-The speaker describes TikTok's content algorithm as being unbiased towards content creators, allowing new voices to be heard, which contrasts with traditional platforms. This unbiased promotion of content has caused political figures to fear TikTok's influence on public opinion and election outcomes.
What comparison is made between traditional media platforms and TikTok's algorithm?
-Traditional media platforms often prioritize content from established or major channels, while TikTok's algorithm is more content-focused, giving equal opportunities to new creators based on content quality, leading to a diverse range of voices being heard.
Why does the speaker mention the rapid legislative action against TikTok as surprising?
-The rapid legislative action against TikTok is surprising because it contrasts with the typically slow pace of law-making in the US, indicating a strong and unified response against TikTok.
What potential consequences of the TikTok ban does the speaker outline?
-The speaker outlines that the ban could lead to a significant market disruption, affect the digital economy, and potentially harm the interests of both TikTok and the US, suggesting a complex interplay of economic and political factors.
How does the speaker view the impact of TikTok's algorithm on political discourse?
-The speaker views TikTok's algorithm as having a democratizing effect on political discourse by amplifying a wide range of opinions, which contrasts with the controlled narratives often seen on traditional platforms.
What does the speaker predict about the future relationship between TikTok and the US?
-The speaker predicts a complex negotiation process, where TikTok may have to concede some level of control or stake in its US operations, but ultimately suggests a scenario where TikTok continues to operate in the US under new terms that reflect both American and Chinese interests.
Outlines
🚫 Why Banning TikTok Is Right
The speaker introduces themselves as a new spiritual American despite not having a U.S. passport, aiming to unify the thoughts on why banning TikTok is the right move for the U.S. They argue that the ban came as a surprise to TikTok's officials, indicating a well-prepared and secretive legislative process against the platform. The unity of both political parties in the U.S. regarding the TikTok ban is highlighted as unusual, with a swift legislative process that hardly gave any room for TikTok to maneuver. The speaker points out three main observations: the thorough preparation of the bill, the significant impact it aims to have on TikTok, and the rare bipartisan agreement on the issue, underlining the strategic surprise and legislative speed as key elements of this action.
🔍 The Direct Causes Behind TikTok's Ban
The narrative shifts to discuss the direct causes behind TikTok's ban, distancing it from merely the platform's association with China. The speaker suggests that TikTok's ban was motivated by its algorithm's impact on political opinions and election processes, particularly noting how TikTok's content distribution model, which differs significantly from traditional media platforms, might threaten political narratives and election outcomes in the U.S. This concern over TikTok's influence on political discourse and the potential for it to upset traditional election dynamics is posited as a more immediate cause for the legislative actions taken against the platform.
🌐 TikTok vs. The American Tech Giants
The discussion pivots to the broader context of TikTok's competition with American tech giants, emphasizing TikTok's rapid user growth in the U.S. and its direct competition with platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Google. The speaker argues that the ban reflects a broader commercial battle, where TikTok's success poses a challenge to established U.S. internet companies. This competitive threat, combined with TikTok's lack of political connections in the U.S., paints a picture of a commercial and political landscape where TikTok finds itself an outsider struggling against both market rivals and legislative pressures.
💡Strategic Moves and Missteps
This section critiques TikTok's strategic decisions, particularly the appointment of a Singaporean CEO as a compromise between avoiding a Chinese CEO and the complications of an American CEO. The speaker reflects on the challenges and prejudices faced by the CEO and TikTok in the U.S. political environment, highlighting a broader discussion on the influence of national identity and corporate control in the global tech landscape. Through this, the narrative examines the complex interplay of business strategy, national security concerns, and the inherent challenges non-American companies face in navigating the U.S. market.
🌎 Global Tech Dominance and The Future of TikTok
The final part explores the implications of the TikTok ban within the context of global tech dominance, comparing TikTok's situation to that of other 'world's number one' companies historically influenced or controlled by American interests. The speaker speculates on the future of TikTok, suggesting that while the ban presents a challenge, it may not lead to TikTok's exit from the U.S. market. Instead, they foresee a potential compromise that could see TikTok ceding some control or stakes to U.S. interests, reflecting on the broader themes of capitalism, national security, and the digital information ecosystem.

Hello 大家好
我是小島
那今天呢我來為大家統壹思想
那講講
為什麽我的祖國美國要封禁TikTok
為什麽封禁TikTok是對的
眾所周知
雖然我沒有美國護照
但是呢從前幾天開始
我就是壹個堂堂正正的精神美國人了
那今天呢
我將帶領所有新加入的大浪教會員
初體驗做20分鐘美國人
那讓我們從美國人的視角來考慮壹下
為什麽我們必須也
必然粉碎來自紅色帝國的陰謀
幹TikTok的過程呢
我認為已經不需要再重復壹遍了
基本上呢就是找點借口立法明搶啊
那麽很多博主呢都已經做過了
那我只想要強調壹些小細節
首先呢是這次封禁看起來呢
是非常突然的
TikTok的官方呢
似乎是完全沒有預料到
這次大變故的發生
華爾街日報呢就專門發表了壹篇文章
指出針對TikTok的立法
已經秘密準備了很長時間
然而在法案推出的前兩個禮拜呢
TikTok的美國高管曾經帶著好消息
去到新加坡總部
說TikTok在美國的業務啊固若金湯
這就使得TikTok呢
完全沒有做任何的防備
那屬於是裸裝的情況下吃了壹波傷害
通常來說呢
美國國會呢就像壹棟漏了風的房子
啥消息呢都保密不了
因為國會裏的兩黨的利益
在大多數情況下呢
是不壹致的
但是這次呢不太壹樣
那看起來呢在對付TikTok的問題上呢
兩黨是團結的
另外這次美國呢
對TikTok的打擊力度非常的大
當年川普想通
過行政法令封禁TikTok呢
完全不是壹個量級了
那次呢只是壹個行政命令
法院的法官呢都可以進行否決
這次呢是立法了
那壹旦立法成功
基本上呢就沒有任何回旋的余地了
第三呢是這次立法的推進速度啊極快
那這種快呢不但出乎TikTok的預料
甚至呢也出乎美國人的預料
通常來說呢
美國過法案的速度呢是非常慢的
那因為政客們呢
需要充分的時間進行利益交換
但是
這次有關TikTok的法案的推進速度啊
快到驚人
美中戰略競爭特別委員會在3月5日呢
公布了強制TikTok剝離美國業務的法案
那僅僅兩天後呢
眾議院能源和商務委員會呢
就以50:0全票表決通過該提案
3月13號 眾議院呢
以352票對65票的結果
通過了這壹項法案
後續呢這個法案呢
還將會被送到參議院進行表決
參議院呢可能會拖壹拖
不過呢拜登已經表態了
壹旦參議院表決通過
他呢馬上就會簽字
所以這次有關TikTok法案呢
有至少3個
很容易就可以觀察到的特點
法案前期呢準備相當充分
對TikTok的打擊力度極大
兩黨的意見呢高度統壹
在美國這樣壹個相對散裝的國家
這樣的情況呢是非常少見的
那麽為什麽美國要動用國家機器
來對付壹個公司呢
哎好了
現在呢我們再來說說重點啊
為什麽美國這次要把TikTok往死裏玩
很多人呢
會把直接原因歸於TikTok和中國的關系
那TikTok被封呢
跟中國肯定是有脫
不開的關系的
但是呢
這不是促成這次封禁的直接原因
美國那邊的消息人士指出
那有關封禁TikTok這件事情
美國立法機構裏的壹些人呢
早就開始推動了
雖然這些人呢用盡了全力
但是推動呢壹直非常緩慢
壹方面呢是TikTok呢非常的柔軟
美國政府那邊呢
有任何要求
不管合理的還是不合理的
TikTok呢都基本上予以滿足了
但凡是要點臉啊
那麽確實呢
是不好下手
其次呢
TikTok在美國的用戶量已經非常大了
並且呢也開始搞直播帶貨
綁架經濟那壹套了
那麽除非是立法部門能夠形成共識
否則沖在前面的政治人物呢
可能會成為炮灰
上壹次川普想封禁TikTok
被美國人罵得有多慘呢
大家呢應該還記憶猶新
所以這次封TikTok
議員們最初呢是不太積極的
但是壹件很關鍵的事呢
就導致立法者改變了
他們對TikTok的態度
改變呢發生在去年10月以後
那去年10月發生了什麽事情呢
那某壹個三字國家
就開始打壹個四字國家裏的恐怖分子
圖呢我就不放了
懂的都懂 審核
要是這妳都能封我啊
那我真的就是服了
按平時美國的傳統媒體
給我們渲染出來的固有印象
那美國的人民呢
肯定是會支持三字國家的
但是呢TikTok告訴我們的結果啊
不是這樣的
數據科學家Gol誒bloom呢
在去年年底公布了他的數據
根據他的計算呢
去年12月
TikTok上親四字國家的視頻的觀看量啊
是親三字國家
視頻的54倍
那不是多54%啊
是54倍然後這個數據呢
在11月的時候啊
還“僅有”36倍
所以呢
後來美國總統競選裏的壹個候選人
黑莉不就表示嗎
那用戶每觀看TikTok半小時
反某族的情緒呢
就會增加17%
咱也不知道這個情緒
是怎麽算出來的啊
就反正聽起來就挺恐怖的
每半個小時就增加17%
是什麽概念啊
就是三個小時
他就翻壹翻啊
我給大家科普壹下啊
在美國妳反那個什麽啊
就跟在中國詆毀習近平壹樣
那美國
作為全球最成功的資本主義國家
立國之本是什麽
那當然就是資本了
TikTok呢這個是塗了風油精啊
就往美國的G點猛攻啊
美國呢當然是說
哎呀這個流量是被TikTok操控的
所以那什麽呢
他就想敲打壹下TikTok
這個是完全可以理解的
不過呢這個可能還不是最壞的情況
那最壞的情況呢
是TikTok上的流量啊
它是真的啊
反而呢這個Facebook啊
YouTube上的流量呢
是不自然的
那些以為自己是少數的人
他其實可能是多數
那TikTok呢
就是那個喊皇帝
為什麽沒穿衣服的小孩
有個Google的朋友呢
跟我分享了壹下
這個YouTube的前CEO的壹句名言
it's critical that we are on the right si誒e of history
很顯然啊
TikTok呢它沒有站在歷史正確的那邊
我不認為呢
他們是受到了共產黨的操縱
站在了錯的那邊啊
他們呢
應該就是單純的把觀眾的滿意
當成了正確
其實呢是觀眾錯了啊
連帶著呢
把TikTok給帶進坑了
事實上呢
不止TikTok啊
在這個期間呢
有些掌握了社交媒體的大佬呢
也發表了錯誤的言論
那比如馬斯克
那掌握了推特的他呢
無疑是能夠知道民意的
那於是呢
他開噴了
於是他被幹了
於是他道歉了
去年10月
TikTok上對那個的這個仇恨上升之後啊
就針對TikTok的法案的推進速度呢
就猛然增加
所以我個人的看法啊
這個才是TikTok被封禁的直接原因
那誰的這個組織能力
推動法案的能力呢
他非常非常的強
那我知道很多朋友表達欲很強啊
就幫我壹個忙
如果妳想對這方面進行評論
能憋住的呢
就憋住別評論啊
憋不住的話呢
不要直呼其名
就像在這個中國叫習近平
叫大大壹樣啊
這個呢對妳我的賬號啊都有好處
說完第壹個原因後呢
咱們再來說第二個原因
那其實呢
也跟中國沒有直接關系
那就是美國年底的大選
那有些美國人會說啊
中國呢
會通過TikTok人為的影響美國的大選啊
我不同意這個看法
TikTok現在做任何事情呢
都會被放在顯微鏡下面
他們根本呢
就不敢做任何的幹預政治性流量的事
其實呢
和我們說的第壹個原因差不多啊
正是因為TikTok
不對流量加以人為的限制
就使得政治人物呢
對TikTok非常的害怕
這裏呢
我要站在壹個自媒體人的角度啊
來給大家說說
TikTok或者抖音的算法
和傳統視頻平臺算法的不同
傳統平臺上的流量呢
會更加側重大網紅或者大頻道
那每個賬號呢
會根據歷史的表現不同
來獲得不同的權重
那以前表現的越好
積累的越久的賬號呢
就能夠獲得更多的推送
那這個也是可以理解的嘛
那任何事情呢
他都遵循二八定律嘛
平臺找到那個20%的精英
自然會把更多的資源
放在這20%的人身上
大家看YouTube的時候
可能就會有壹種感覺啊
就每天打開來
看來看去就是那麽壹些內容
而且呢就是那些頻道
這個呢
其實就是YouTube的算法有些僵化了
他根據妳平時看的東西呢
判斷妳喜歡啥
然後呢又在妳喜歡的內容裏
找到他們覺得最好的幾個
限制壹加之後呢
妳就會發現妳每天呢
都困在那幾個大頻道裏了
那TikTok的算法呢
就不太壹樣
他把創作者本身的權重呢給降低了
然後選擇更加專註於內容本身
那只要內容好
哪怕妳是壹個全新的賬號
都有可能受到流量的眷顧
觀眾朋友們呢可能會覺得說哎
但這不是壹個很好的方式嗎
我舉壹個極端壹下的例子啊
今天呢習近平在抖音上
發表了他對2024年中美關系發展的看法
那裏面呢壹大堆官話套話
與此同時呢
北京的壹個出租車司機
也對相同的話題發表了自己的看法
講的呢非常生動有趣
那如果純粹以觀眾的喜愛度
來判斷的話
算法呢很可能會認為
出租車司機的視頻質量啊
要比習近平的更好
因而獲得更多的流量
那我這個例子呢
舉的是有點極端了啊
但是這樣的算法呢
在大選期間呢
很可能會放大兩大陣營之間的差距
這次大選來說
很明顯呢
川普更有話題度
講話呢更好玩
拜登呢就是已經老到很無聊了嘛
我預估啊
就如果TikTok不改變算法的話
川普呢會有相當明顯的優勢
可是呢
我們看川普第壹次勝選的時候啊
網絡上的聲量呢
是不夠的
那好像大部分人呢
都在罵他
為什麽呢
哎這個就是因為
傳統媒體和TikTok對流量的控制不同
坦白點說呢
傳統媒體賺錢的方法呢
就是妳給我錢
我就給妳流量
那兩黨呢
只要有相應的競選經費
就可以打到半斤八兩
川普第壹次競選呢
吃虧就吃在他不是個傳統的政治人物
那很多宣傳的通道呢
沒有打通
所以即便很多老百姓喜歡川普
媒體呢卻對他非常的不友好
TikTok的賺錢邏輯呢
就不壹樣了嘛
他的邏輯呢
是中國人的那套免費邏輯
羊毛呢出在豬身上
TikTok的官方更多的呢
是想要通過視頻的質量
去吸引更多的觀眾進入他們的平臺
然後呢在平臺上帶貨賺錢
他們呢就不存在收取某個政黨的錢
替某個政黨宣傳的意願
當然他也不敢是吧
那麽這種時候呢
就很容易發生什麽問題呢
就是
即便某壹個政黨的競選資金非常充裕
並且呢離真正的大選日呢
也還有距離
那輸贏可能就已經特別的明顯了
因為像TikTok這個平臺啊
它會放大候選人個人魅力的優勢
減少傳統政黨本身的資源優勢
那甚至在未來的某壹天
通過TikTok呢
掘起壹個第三政黨都是有可能的
那比如說臺灣的柯文哲的掘起
就是因為年輕人
已經不太看
藍綠兩黨掌握的傳統媒體了嘛
所以說為了選舉的可控性
美國的兩黨呢
都有意願控制或者封殺TikTok
這裏面呢
又以拜登本人最著急
因為他的個人魅力呢
趨近於0啊
這個老小子到現在還在課我30%的稅啊
這事呢其實挺諷刺的吧
TikTok呢想要盡量避免政治
也確實沒有碰政治
但是這種時候呢
不作為也是壹種作為
那當然了
如果TikTok這個時候修改算法哎
那就真的坐實了影響美國選舉的罪名
那還是可以搞妳
因為即便美國的政客不想搞TikTok了
美國的互聯網頭部公司呢
也不想放過TikTok
這個時候呢
其實還是跟中國沒關系啊
他就是壹個商戰的問題
TikTok呢
目前在美國已經擁有1.7億用戶了
而美國的人口呢
壹共就3.3億
搞了這麽多年的Facebook呢
也就1.8億用戶而已
Facebook在美國呢
就跟中國的微信差不多
那TikTok現在在美國的用戶量呢
可以說就已經達到了
