In Part 2 of our TikTok Special, Overreactology goes beyond the TikTok case itself, uncovering the global power dynamics shaping digital politics. We are honored to welcome @deeliu97.bsky.social
from the Oxford Internet Institute to have this thought-provoking conversation, diving into:
As tech giants, corporate elites, and nation-states compete for dominance in the digital world, we must ask:
🔹 Can cyberspace ever be a true digital utopia?
🔹 Who builds the barriers—algorithms, platforms, or governments?
While TikTok strives to remain apolitical, it finds itself squeezed between diverse cultural, political, and regulatory landscapes. Meanwhile, Xiaohongshu (RED) has quietly become a sanctuary for cyber refugees across borders.
Since our 1st TikTok episode, the world has witnessed a political shift in Washington, the TikTok ban saga unfolding in waves, and content creators—far beyond the U.S.—navigating the uncertainty of shared digital spaces.
🎙️TikTok Special 02 out! As digital infrastructures become battlegrounds for geopolitics, it’s crucial to go beyond TikTok and navigate the complexities in the digital age. Join us with @deeliu97.bsky.social to uncover the power dynamics shaping global digital politics.
