Chinese Apps Pose Widespread Surveillance Threat
Author Wynton Hall argues in his forthcoming book Code Red that Chinese-made apps TikTok and DeepSeek are 'Trojan Horses' used by the Chinese Communist Party to collect sensitive data on Americans, including keystrokes, IPs, and browsing habits. TikTok has about 150 million U.S. monthly users and DeepSeek roughly 4 million; Hall and lawmakers warn the data could enable espionage, influence campaigns, or surveillance.
Scoring Rationale
High national-security relevance and measurable market impact, but conclusions rest largely on a single forthcoming book and press reports.
