Privacy Threats Facing Americans & Why TikTok Should Be Banned w/ Andrew Bloom

We discuss the complexities of data privacy, identity, and digital security on Manipulation Games: Psychology & Marketing podcast with special guest Andrew Bloom. Starting with a true story about a cybersecurity breach at the U.S. Treasury Department on December 8th, 2024, we explore the far-reaching effects of cyber-attacks, including the breach of 22 million identities.

Join Darren, Gene, and Andrew Bloom, as we unpack the three categories of personal information, sensitive information, and health information that we willingly or unknowingly share every day. From common identifiers like names and addresses to more intricate ones like biometric data and genetic code, we discuss how these can be exploited for nefarious purposes.

We also touch on the controversial subject of TikTok and its implications for national security, highlighting the potential dangers of a powerful identity graph in the hands of a foreign adversary. This episode is a must-watch for anyone concerned about privacy in the digital age.

We talk through various info cards that illustrate the ease of data inference and the real-time demonstration of how much big tech companies knows about you!
