TikTok, the flagship app of the Chinese company Bytedance, recently surpassed Google and Facebook as the most popular site on the internet in 2021, and is expected to reach more than 1.8 billion users by the end of 2022. The Chinese government doesn't control TikTok, but has influence over it. What are the implications of this influence, given that China is the main geopolitical rival of the United States?

On this episode Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin explore the nature of the TikTok threat, and how we might address it.

When deleting my social media 2.5 years ago, I realised two things: 1) nobody really gave a sh*t about me 2) I am much MORE happier

I haven't listened to the full podcast, but I'm not sure how this comparison makes sense. Oil companies main goal is, I'm assuming, to be paid a lot of money for their oil, which includes transportation of that oil. Oil spills are mistakes that are too often swept under the rug, but they aren't there by design to make MORE money. Social media is the opposite. They make money through engagement. Polarization causes engagement. It's not a spill or a mistake. It's by design. Yes the govt. can regulate data privacy, but it can't change the fundamental goal of these companies, which is to make money. Again, which only happens through engagement.

How long will it take before people realize polarized people are easier to control and easier to govern, as long as you don't tell them that's what you're doing?

This is the best comment not about the internet but about meditation practice. "Attention is the highest currency you have, therefore everybody wants your attention, your friends, television media etc. Including you. including your own ego, wants your own attention, constantly interrupting you from your passion. Therefore you have to bring it back with your meditation and with your breath 100 times a day." :))))) You become an observer of your thoughts and weaknesses, by practicing meditation and metacognition.

I wanted to say thank you for fighting for awareness and tangible change. I used to have a reverence for the decentralized, uncontrollable nature of the internet but I realized what feels like a long time ago it is very much a controlled environment. I’ve never been plugged into social media specifically but I have been plugged in elsewhere and I feel like I’m being gaslit as I watch the world and myself be affected by these enormous data machines turning human beings to ad revenue. For a long time I thought it would continue like this forever but it seems AI is making people think before diving headfirst into what will feel a lot like the introduction of the internet. Hopefully with more forethought this time.

Have you heard of Discord? Considering all the disapproval of addictive algorithms and advertisements, I'm surprised that the Center for Humane Technology isn't involved with it

The US govt’s constant viewing of other countries as adversaries, an Us VS Them mentality does zero good in trying to bring humanity together to help each other avoid existential treats.

compared to banning that may backfire in unimaginative ways, fixing the value system may be the ultimate fundamental thing to do. people need to develop new hobby/interest that takes time away from attention platforms, and find better content to entertain themselves with than the ones that promote materialism and hedonism and other shallow things. i think the CHT course referenced a BBC article that talks about 14 core values human pursue. that is the wake-up call people need to have. to that extent, i think spirituality is a good thing, but that's really a long and uphill battle.

if you have a business that markets through your business facebook page, then you can't really outright delete facebook.

You should try to be accurate if you are having a serious conversation: creation of TikTok is a business venture, not government driven. It gained popularity among teenagers swiftly in China just as it did among Americans. It did not receive much government supervision during the initial growth. Individuals who wished to gain fame and fortune had no shame doing everything they could to get attention and subscription. For a while, "being a teenage mom" was the headshot, a trend led by a couple of influencers who dropped out of school, got pregnant, gave birth to kids and still maintained their "beauty"(photoshopped). It got so out of control and caused so many concerns from parents that the Chinese government had to do something about it, demanding the company to implement strict content supervision processes. That action was actually attacked by anti-China group as violations of the freedom of speech, something the Western world values dearly and deeply. The other part I find ironic is that the suggestion here is: ban TikTok. And the concern is the backlash instead of the hypocrisy... everything discussed here towards social media and low brain stem apps and the "it breaks the culture" is literally what Western world has been doing to other countries for decades in different and more subtle ways...yet TikTok is literally not the right example here. The Chinese government had to get involved to tackle the side effects of TikTok in China. This is a business behavior and has long term negative effects on humanity, regardless culture, country and value. This is the example of technology setting the course of our future in a very bad way. I support necessary government supervision over these apps, no matter which country it is from.
