Sometimes we aren't the boss and we don't get to see the evidence. That doesn't mean there isn't any.

Can you think of any reason a government engaged in cyberwarfare might want to ensure there was informational asymmetry? I sure can.

"We have evidence but it's secret". Hey, we've seen this one before, it's a classic!

At this point, the credibility of the trust-me-bro evidence can fall anywhere on the scale between "Iraqi WMDs" to "Imminent invasion of Ukraine", and there is just no way to know.

OK. Has the government indicated that there is classified evidence?

  • Yes. It was even submitted to the court here ex-parte (without letting TikTok see it), though the court apparently declined to consider it.

    What exactly it says... obviously we don't know.
