  • Commerce Department's Ban on Wechat and Tiktok Mobile
    Alert Commerce Department’s Ban on WeChat and TikTok Mobile Applications Delayed on Eve of Implementation September 22, 2020 On Sept. 18, 2020, the U.S. Department of Commerce (“Commerce Department”) issued its eagerly anticipated regulations under President Trump’s Aug. 6, 2020 Executive Orders (“E.O.s”) relating to the mobile applications (“apps”), WeChat and TikTok. As explained below, the regulations sharply restrict transactions involving either app within the United States, beginning on Sept. 20, 2020.1 At the same time, the Commerce Department refrained from imposing sanctions on use of the apps outside the United States or on trading in the securities of WeChat’s and TikTok’s parent companies. Both sets of regulations were scheduled to begin to take effect on Sept. 20, but due to subsequent developments in the courtroom and the boardroom, neither will. On Sept. 19, 2020, a federal judge in California granted a motion for a preliminary injunction which will — at least temporarily — curtail the government’s ability to implement the WeChat ban. And on the same day, following the announcement of a bid by Oracle Corp. (“Oracle”) for the U.S. operations of TikTok, the Commerce Department temporarily delayed implementation of the TikTok ban for one week. Background The Aug. 6, 2020 E.O.s vest broad authority in the Commerce Department to prohibit persons subject to U.S. jurisdiction from engaging in transactions with the Chinese companies that own TikTok and WeChat.2 E.O. 13942 targets ByteDance Ltd. (“ByteDance”), the owner of TikTok Inc. (“TikTok”); E.O. 13943 targets Tencent Holdings Ltd.

  • China's Global Media Footprint
    February 2021 SHARP POWER AND DEMOCRATIC RESILIENCE SERIES China’s Global Media Footprint Democratic Responses to Expanding Authoritarian Influence by Sarah Cook ABOUT THE SHARP POWER AND DEMOCRATIC RESILIENCE SERIES As globalization deepens integration between democracies and autocracies, the compromising effects of sharp power—which impairs free expression, neutralizes independent institutions, and distorts the political environment—have grown apparent across crucial sectors of open societies. The Sharp Power and Democratic Resilience series is an effort to systematically analyze the ways in which leading authoritarian regimes seek to manipulate the political landscape and censor independent expression within democratic settings, and to highlight potential civil society responses. This initiative examines emerging issues in four crucial arenas relating to the integrity and vibrancy of democratic systems: • Challenges to free expression and the integrity of the media and information space • Threats to intellectual inquiry • Contestation over the principles that govern technology • Leverage of state-driven capital for political and often corrosive purposes The present era of authoritarian resurgence is taking place during a protracted global democratic downturn that has degraded the confidence of democracies. The leading authoritarians are ABOUT THE AUTHOR challenging democracy at the level of ideas, principles, and Sarah Cook is research director for China, Hong Kong, and standards, but only one side seems to be seriously competing Taiwan at Freedom House.

  • Facebook Response to the ACCC's Digital Platform Services Inquiry
    Facebook response to the ACCC’s Digital Platform Services Inquiry September 2020 Interim Report 8 March 2021 Executive Summary The growth in the use of messaging apps (private messaging services as referred to in the Digital Platform Services Inquiry (D SPI) Interim Report September 2020 (I nterim Report )) has been one of the key trends of the digital ecosystem in recent years, and this has accelerated during the COVID 19 pandemic as many families, friends and workplaces have used small group conversations and direct messaging to stay in touch. Many different competitive solutions have been developed to respond to this consumer demand - whether it is pre-installed and default messaging apps like iMessage and Android Messages which also have exclusive access to support SMS as well as their own proprietary protocols (along with similar device maker SMS solutions); the wide variety of downloadable apps offering messaging services such as Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Snapchat, Discord, TikTok, Twitch or Google Chat (among others); or enterprise platforms such as Slack, Teams and Google Hangouts. Given the important role that messaging apps play in keeping Australian households connected and work colleagues productive, the inquiry as part of the DPSI by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission ( ACCC ) into private messaging is timely. Following the release of the Interim Report, Facebook provides this submission in order to set forth its concerns with the conclusions reached in the Interim Report. In the Interim Report, the ACCC finds that Facebook’s online private messaging services (Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp) are not “competitively constrained” by other private messaging services, implying that - even though there is a broad array of competing private messaging services - they do not provide effective competition against Facebook’s services.
