When you buy a tech company, you usually
expect to get three things. The user
data, check. The brand name, check. And
the source code, aka the algorithm. Ah,
but it turns out the US is not getting
the algorithm as part of the sale.
Instead, they're signing a licensing
agreement. It appears as though the US
will really get to own the US user data.
But that's not the end of the story
because owning the database only solves
the issue of privacy if the US thinks
that there is a problem of China spying
on the US citizens. Just owning data
completely fails to solve the issue of
influence even without direct access to
raw US data. Tik Tok and more
importantly its parent company Bite
Dance can still own something just as
valuable. The behavioral patterns, how
people react, what hooks them, what
keeps them watching is a form of
metadata that can be even more powerful
than any individual user profile because
it can be reused, generalized, and even
monetized. This is precisely why the
Chinese government will not allow bite
dance to hand over the algorithm source
code to the US under any circumstances.
