Chinese video platform Bilibili is going global to challenge Youtube

The China-centric video sharing platform is expanding with a new international app and an English version of its website – with no identity verification (for now at least)

I can’t wait for this to be announced as a threat to national security after creating mild competition for YouTube.

Absolutely already a national security concern, but also technically already banned by the bill which banned TikTok.

Question is how hard they need to stroke Trump for it to be unenforceable.

What is the national security concern?

Psychological operations and warfare, mainly disinformation campaigns akin to TikTok used to sway political sentiment in favor of authoritarians such as Trump.

Equally bad: extreme data gathering, also akin to tiktok.

I guess. TikTok did raise awareness of the Gaza genocide and, by extension, create instability in the US. It also distanced the public from the US government’s closest ally, Israel.

It directly promoted GOP leading up to 2024 and even Trump by name:

Then they did the exact same thing by promoting the AFD in Germany:

This has NOT distanced the USA from Israel; they have never been closer. The GOP are pushing bills that will combine Israel military with the USA’s.

Brother, according to that logic, YouTube is a national security risk. I was refering to things the American govt labels as a national security risk to protect corporate interests.
