India has set an “incredibly important precedent” by banning TikTok<\/a> and is a ‘guide star’ for other countries, a top US official told ET. In view of the concerns over the Chinese short video app being a threat to “national security,” nothing short of a “blanket ban” — as imposed by India — will work, according to Brendan Carr<\/a>, Commissioner of the United States Federal Communications Commission<\/a> (FCC<\/a>). 在一次独家采访中,美国FCC委员布兰登·卡尔说“禁止TikTok是一种自然的下一步在我们努力安全通信网络”。 印度已经禁止设置一个“非常重要的先例”TikTok,是一个“导星”其他国家,一位美国高级官员告诉ET。鉴于担忧中国短视频应用的“国家安全”构成威胁的“全面禁止”——由印度——将工作,根据布伦丹卡尔专员的美国联邦通信委员会(FCC)。 India has set an “incredibly important precedent” by banning TikTok<\/a> and is a ‘guide star’ for other countries, a top US official told ET. In view of the concerns over the Chinese short video app being a threat to “national security,” nothing short of a “blanket ban” — as imposed by India — will work, according to Brendan Carr<\/a>, Commissioner of the United States Federal Communications Commission<\/a> (FCC<\/a>).
In an exclusive interview with ET, US FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr said “banning TikTok is a natural next step in our efforts to secure communication networks\".
US Concerns<\/strong>
All of the sensitive and non-public data is going to Beijing...” and could be used for “blackmail, espionage, foreign influence campaigns and surveillance.”
“That's a nightmare scenario,\" he added.
The FCC is an independent US government agency and the primary authority for communications law, regulation and technological innovation.
Carr’s comments come amid an increasing crackdown on TikTok by the US government<\/a>. In December, a bipartisan bill seeking an outright ban on the short video app was introduced in both houses of Congress by Senator Marco Rubio.
Several US states have banned the app on government-owned devices, while Indiana has sued TikTok for inflicting harm on residents.
While there are talks of ‘mitigating measures’ being put in place, Carr said he doesn’t see “anything other than a blanket ban” working.
Noting that while TikTok is the primary focus at the moment eventually there is need for “a more holistic approach like India's,\" according to the FCC Commissioner. “We need to follow India's lead more broadly to weed out other nefarious apps as well,\" he said.
Federal agencies such as the White House<\/a> and the Defense, Homeland security and State departments have already banned TikTok. Last week, Catherine Szpindor, the chief administrator of the House of Representatives<\/a>, also instructed all staff and lawmakers to delete TikTok from their devices.
Carr said that at least 20 of the 50 American states have banned TikTok on state government devices with the number due to increase in 2023. Nebraska was the first state to issue a ban in 2020. Several predominantly Republican-led states – including Texas, South Dakota and Virginia – have also banned the use of the Chinese app.
Leading the Way<\/strong>
India banned TikTok<\/a> and nearly 300 other Chinese apps in phases starting June 2020 over national security concerns. TikTok had more than 200 million users in India at the time and considered India as its biggest overseas market.
Calls to ban TikTok have also surfaced in countries such as Australia and even Taiwan recently moved to ban it from public devices.
\"India's strong leadership has been informative and helpful as we have debated banning TikTok in the US,\" Carr said. \"For those who argue that there is no way to ban an app, India is an example of a country that has done it and done it successfully,” he noted.
Carr said that he expects the bipartisan Bill to be reintroduced in the new Congress, which starts this month, with a debate expected “on whether mitigating measures will work or if the US should adopt India’s approach.”
“If you look at the history of TikTok’s malign data flows and its misleading representations, I don't see a path forward for anything other than a blanket ban working,” he told ET.

印度禁止TikTok树立一个重要的先例:FCC委员丹卡尔
在一次独家采访中,美国FCC委员布兰登·卡尔说“禁止TikTok是一种自然的下一步在我们努力安全通信网络”。
我们的担忧
所有的敏感和非公开的数据是去北京…”,可以用来“勒索、间谍、外国影响运动和监测。”
联邦通信委员会是一个独立的美国政府机构和通信的主要权威法律、监管和技术创新。
卡尔的评论来在一个由美国政府打击TikTok增加。去年12月,两党法案寻求彻底封杀短片的应用介绍了在国会两院的参议员马可卢比奥。
美国的几个州已经禁止国有设备上的应用程序,而印第安纳州起诉TikTok对居民造成的伤害。
虽然有谈判的缓解措施正在实施,卡尔说,他并不认为“不是一个全面禁止”工作。
指出虽然TikTok是目前主要的焦点最终是需要“一个更全面的方法像印度的,”根据FCC委员。“我们需要跟随印度的更广泛,以排除其他邪恶的应用,”他说。
联邦机构等白宫和国防、国土安全部和国务院部门已经禁止TikTok。上周,凯瑟琳Szpindor的首席管理员众议院还要求所有员工和立法者删除TikTok从他们的设备。
卡尔说,至少有20的美国50个州禁止TikTok州政府设备将在2023年增加数量。内布拉斯加州是第一个国家在2020年发出禁令。主要是被共和党人控制的几个州,包括德克萨斯,南达科塔州和维吉尼亚州,也禁止使用的应用。
主要的方式
印度禁止TikTok和近300中国其他应用阶段开始于2020年6月在国家安全方面的担忧。TikTok已拥有超过2亿的用户在印度,认为是印度成为其最大的海外市场。
呼吁禁止TikTok也出现在国家,如澳大利亚,甚至台湾最近搬到禁止从公共设备。
“印度的强有力的领导一直翔实和乐于助人的争论在美国禁止TikTok,”卡尔说。“对那些认为没有办法禁止应用程序,印度是一个国家成功地做到了,做到了,”他说。
卡尔说,他预计重新在新一届国会两党议案,本月开始,预计将会有一个争论”缓解措施将工作或如果美国是否应该采用印度的方法。”
“如果你看看TikTok恶意数据流的历史和误导性的陈述,我看不出一条向前走的道路比全面禁止对任何其他工作,”他告诉ET。
“监视工具”
打击人们普遍认为TikTok只是一个地方视频共享和舞蹈迷因,卡尔说,现实情况是,它是一个复杂的监视工具,提出了一种严重的国家安全威胁,一切都在中国。
TikTok在美国拥有大约1亿用户,其中三分之二是青少年。
这不是第一次,美国试图禁止广受欢迎的应用程序。唐纳德·特朗普成功在2020年试图禁止TikTok,但两党努力规范应用在2022年达到了一个临界点。国家安全方面的担忧越来越讨论美国联邦调查局局长时,克里斯托弗·雷11月强调具体的威胁来自中国政府和中国共产党。
减轻忧虑,TikTok说这是我们用户的移动数据到Oracle服务器存储在美国。
另外,等在一份声明中,美国参议员马克。R。华纳还说,这是至关重要的,记住TikTok受制于中国共产党。华纳说,在中国,中国共产党制定了一系列国家安全法律,提供广泛的和庭外访问CCP-controlled安全服务的机会。
“这意味着中国共产党最终迫使TikTok,或任何其他中国公司,交出对其数据的访问。TikTok而言,这些数据包括大量的关于美国人的信息,包括生日,电话号码,和设备标识信息,”华纳说。
进一步,他说最近更新TikTok的隐私政策表明,该公司可能会收集的生物特征数据,如faceprints,声纹。“不用说,这不是我们想要的信息在中国共产党手中,”华纳说。
