Belle Lin: 我报道了美国最高法院关于TikTok禁令的裁决。法院一致裁定,维持联邦法律,要求TikTok的中国所有者在1月19日之前出售或关闭该应用。这一裁决基于国家安全担忧,尽管TikTok用户认为该禁令违反了第一修正案。超过1.7亿美国用户可能会受到影响,该平台可能会暂时关闭。此外,我还报道了美国政府对参与“盐暴风”网络攻击的中国公司四川锦石河网络科技有限公司的制裁,以及对参与美国财政部系统入侵的上海黑客的制裁。最后,我报道了18位前欧洲国家领导人呼吁欧盟委员会拆分谷歌的广告技术业务,他们认为这损害了欧洲的媒体环境。
Jess Braven: 就TikTok禁令而言,法院主要关注的是TikTok的大规模数据收集行为,而相对忽视了中国政府可能操纵信息供应的担忧。政府提出的立法理由有两个方面,法院只关注其中一个。
Sho Chu: 我通过TikTok视频发表声明,感谢特朗普致力于寻找解决方案,以使TikTok能够继续留在美国,并表示TikTok将尽一切努力确保其在美国蓬勃发展。
Belle Lin: I reported on the Supreme Court's ruling on the TikTok ban. The court unanimously upheld the federal law requiring TikTok's Chinese owners to sell or shut down the app by January 19th. This ruling is based on national security concerns, although TikTok users argue that the ban violates the First Amendment. Over 170 million American users could be affected, and the platform may shut down temporarily. In addition, I reported on the US government's sanctions against Sichuan Jinshihe Network Technology Company, a Chinese company involved in the Salt Typhoon cyberattacks, and against a Shanghai-based hacker involved in a separate breach of sensitive systems within the Treasury Department. Finally, I reported on the call by 18 former European heads of state for the European Commission to break up Google's ad tech business, which they argue is harming Europe's media landscape.
Jess Braven: Regarding the TikTok ban, the court focused primarily on TikTok's massive data collection practices, while largely overlooking concerns about potential manipulation of information supply by the Chinese government. The government's justification for the legislation had two aspects, and the court only focused on one of them.
Sho Chu: I released a statement via a TikTok video, thanking Trump for his commitment to finding a solution to keep TikTok in the US, and stating that TikTok will do everything in its power to ensure that it thrives in the US.
