Listen "410. Meta vs. ByteDance - An ODNI Risk Brief"
Episode Synopsis
Send Bidemi a Text Message!In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde provided a clear-eyed compare/contrast of Meta and ByteDance through a U.S. national-security lens. He mapped shared engines—algorithmic ads, creator commerce, and hyperscale AI—against divergent governance and accountability. Using counterintelligence (CI) and foreign malign influence (FMI) frameworks, he examined data-access risk, influence operations (IO), moderation incentives, and legal exposure (e.g., Chinese intelligence law vs. market/regulatory checks). He touched on how ODNI threat assessments, NSA/CISA cyber posture, and CIA analysis inform policy levers—data-security baselines, transparency, and threat-intel sharing—aimed at hardening platforms without closing the open internet.Support the show
