00:00Just a few hours after the Tiktok ban was implemented in America,
00:04its service returned immediately.
00:06And if there is a ban in the Philippines,
00:09what will be the effect of this on our fellow countrymen?
00:12Witness, Mico Wahe.
00:20After the shutdown on January 19,
00:23other users are using the Tiktok app again.
00:26After the announcement of President-elect Donald Trump
00:29that he will give a 90-day reprieve to Tiktok.
00:32But what is the reason why the US passed a law
00:36to shut down the Tiktok application?
00:39First, the owner of Tiktok is a Chinese firm
00:42that may have an issue with data privacy.
00:46Because a social media platform like Tiktok
00:51is looking for personal information, personal data.
00:56And China has a national security law
01:00where all companies, tech companies in particular,
01:05if their government needs the information
01:09held by these platforms,
01:11it is in the interest of their national security.
01:14And second, it is against the national security of America.
01:18Aside from being in the hands of the Chinese government,
01:23the personal data of US citizens, US users,
01:26can also be used because of the popularity of Tiktok,
01:31that platform can be used to spread propaganda.
01:36If Tiktok was banned in the Philippines,
01:39it is likely that the content creator Sarah was affected.
01:43Half of her day is spent on Tiktok.
01:46She also earns from Tiktok.
01:49So if it's gone from the Philippines,
01:51it has a big effect on Sarah's income.
01:54It's big, maybe almost half.
01:57In my brand deals, it reaches 5 to 6 digits a month.
02:03So if it's gone, the 6 digits will only be 5 digits.
02:10Abby, an ER nurse,
02:12uses Tiktok more often as an online platform.
02:15I consume Tiktok in the morning,
02:18for example, when I wake up and the work hasn't started yet.
02:21Aside from being a nurse, Abby is also a content creator
02:24and earns from brands that endorse online.
02:27If you endorse a brand,
02:30you can see more content on Tiktok compared to other social media.
02:38And if Tiktok is banned in the country?
02:41I think its biggest impact, of course,
02:45would be on those people who rely on Tiktok as a platform
02:51to provide them either their sole source of income
02:56or at least supplementary income.
02:58So that's where it has the biggest impact.
03:03But is it possible for Tiktok to be banned in the Philippines
03:07where there are 49.09 million users,
03:10according to the data of the advertising resources of ByteDance,
03:14as of January 2024?
03:19Let's go to the 8th place with the most Tiktok users in the world.
03:24It's the same here.
03:25The personal data of Filipinos is processed by a Chinese-based company
03:29in the same way that,
03:31if they want to use it to manipulate opinions,
03:37influence the views of Americans using Tiktok.
03:43For now, we have a data privacy law that can be protected
03:47in case there is a data privacy issue
03:49to social media companies like Tiktok.
03:51But...
03:52What's really lacking is the strong and effective enforcement of these laws.
03:57ByteDance said earlier that they have no connection to the government of China.
