What is the general community sense of TikTok out there these days?
We opted to block it from our corporate devices and networks prior to the official US Government ban both from an infosec perspective, and also to avoid the politics of its use. Our marketing department has pushed several times to have some controlled access because they believe it can be used as a recruiting tool. So far they have not challenged this with any credible data to back that belief up, but we will be re-engaging with them on this topic again soon and expect more pressure.
I'm curious what the general perception is out in the community? Have you encountered any credible information security threats or has this "threat" been revealed to be a political paper one? I'm not seeking recommendations for what we should do, more to gauge what others are doing and how you're basing your decision.
I was going through some Gartner resources looking for reviews on tools that support tariff reporting. I know it's getting more attention lately, but since this isn't exactly a new requirement, I was wondering—hasn't tariff reporting and management always been a fairly standard need? I am curious to know what peers in the industry are using for this. Are you seeing any particular tools or platforms gaining traction?

Like most large companies in the history of the United States, Google does have a monopoly in their space or close to it. However, this is capitalism. I am not saying it is bad or good but that is the nature of capitalism. You get the big companies like Google, Amazon and Microsoft. They all started small out of someone's garage. This gives hope to all of those other people starting businesses in their garage to one day be like Google.
