Information Warfare, NSA Influence Operations and TikTok

The segment links the TikTok ban movement to a broader desire for total control over internet algorithms and podcasting content.

Paul Ciancia Criminal Complaint, TSA Shooting Details, FBI Terminology
The federal criminal complaint against Paul Ciancia for the LAX shooting contains technical inaccuracies, such as the use of the non-existent term "magazine clips."
