Shark Tank star Kevin O'Leary says TikTok is "weapons-grade spyware" and calls it "one of the best propaganda machines I have ever seen."
O'Leary is a potential buyer of the app. While testifying in Congress today, he was asked about the national security and legal risks he was most concerned about before making his TikTok bid.
The truth about TikTok is, and I'm aware of this and many others in the social media industry and
the software and AI industries know this, TikTok is weapons-grade spyware. It's one of the best
propaganda machines I've ever seen. And if you want evidence of it, go on in the last 24 hours
and look at the videos generated there through AI of overweight Americans at sewing machines,
even the president himself depicted here, or over iPhone screwing in screws with the message,
let's make America great again. I have never seen such blatant propaganda.
