Algorithms and data are the new weapons in the war being waged between the major world powers. This film reveals what lies behind the lightning rise of Tik Tok.
For several months, investigations by journalists and information gathered by various intelligence services have shown that TIK TOK allows the Chinese state to access the hundreds of millions of data from American and European users. This data is fundamental to conduct influence or cognitive wars and can be a real weapon in the event of an armed conflict. A war of narratives is thus being waged: banning TIK TOK means preserving the liberal order embodied by the United States in the face of the Chinese Communist Party, which would use artificial intelligence to undermine democracies. This emerging doctrine within public opinion, crystallizing around TIK TOK, is only the tip of the iceberg. Algorithms and data have become strategic assets for states. Their control is essential in an increasingly polarized world.
