      You are missing the point. Meta and X are collecting data but the US government is not using their data to target Americans. China is using TikTok to collect data to target Americans which is very dangerous…and this is why the US seeks to band TikTok or for it to be sold to a US entity.

    We will be going back to 2015 with this ban, the algorithms used in other social media platforms are nowhere near tiktoks. The US will lose a massive platform that helps people share ideas and spread information. The US is going to be even further behind technology wise. Not sure where this obsession comes from to go back to the past and this cold war mentality

    It’s kind of amazing that there aren’t any real competitors to TikTok. The space seems wide open.

Flock Safety sits at the intersection of an increasingly intense debate around the spread of surviellance technology, AI, and who’s using all of that information and to what ends. Founder and CEO Garrett Langley spoke at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 to defend his stance that Flock is a net positive in the face of concerns about its work monitoring communities, cities, and enabling data sharing across law enforcement agencies.

As a sign of that backlash, as Langley spoke on stage, a protest against Flock was taking place outside of Moscone West in San Francisco.

TechCrunch’s Equity podcast team took over the Builders Stage Tuesday morning to tackle a growing challenge for the AI industry: What happens when AI agents go off-script, and who’s responsible for keeping them in check?

The Equity team unpacked whether the problem calls for better engineering, new regulation, or both, and why startups are raising millions to secure AI agents.
