Listen now
Description
The military has banned TikTok among its personnel, according to the new AFP spokesperson, Col. Francel Padilla, an expert on cybersecurity. While being vague about how the AFP intends to enforce its directive, Col. Padilla explains how Filipinos' immersion in social media has made the country vulnerable to "social engineering" tactics by adversaries. She cautions her audiences to be wary of platforms that request access to their cameras, microphones, and contacts, especially Tiktok which is allegedly owned by China. She explains what it means to be a "certified ethical hacker," one of her credentials as the nation's first woman spokesperson of the armed forces. --- Producer: Ivy Andrada Bautista Researcher: Jenica Villanueva Editor: Jayr Magtoto
