Casey Newton:美国国会迅速通过并签署了旨在迫使字节跳动出售TikTok或禁止其在美国运营的法案。这是一个令人震惊的事件,引发了关于法律挑战和对科技行业及美国的影响的诸多疑问。TikTok禁令面临着重大的法律挑战,其核心在于该法案是否违反了第一修正案。TikTok方将主张该法案是基于对TikTok内容的厌恶,而政府方则可能以国家安全为由进行辩护,但需要提供确凿证据。美国长期以来存在限制外国公司拥有美国媒体公司的法律,将此框架扩展到TikTok等互联网应用,可能比直接禁令更合理。TikTok禁令可能导致中国采取报复措施,加剧中美互联网的碎片化,并对全球互联网格局产生深远影响。作者对TikTok禁令的立场有所动摇,对其可能造成的互联网碎片化和对言论自由的潜在影响表示担忧。 Kevin Roose:作者仍然认为迫使TikTok出售或被禁符合美国的国家利益,因为字节跳动未能诚实地披露其与中国的联系。美国外国投资委员会(CFIUS)对TikTok的审查过程过于隐秘,缺乏透明度。如果TikTok被禁,其用户每天97分钟的平均使用时长将被其他社交媒体平台瓜分,这将给Meta、谷歌以及新兴创业公司带来机遇。

Shownotes Transcript

On Wednesday, President Biden signed a bill into law that would force the sale of TikTok or ban the app outright. We explain how this came together, when just a few weeks ago it seemed unlikely to happen, and what legal challenges the law will face next. Then we check on Tesla’s very bad year and what’s next for the company after this week’s awful quarterly earnings report. Finally, to boldly support tech where tech has never been supported before: Engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab try to fix a chip malfunction from 15 billion miles away.

Guests:

  • Andrew Hawkins), Transportation Editor at The Verge
