> one member designated by the US government.

Why does the board of TikTok need a gov member? Is Meta going to get a gov chaperone too? And Oracle surely needs one as well.

Is the gov putting out a call for board member civil servants? Like where does this person even come from?

Same reason they put a guy at CBS as a "bias monitor":

They want their guy to make sure things go their way / people say the "right" things.
