Why a TikTok ban makes sense | Ep. 165
Manage episode 428028537 series 3335763
The U.S. attempting to ban TikTok goes beyond just stopping a social media app that shows funny dance videos or makeup tips. Experts in national intelligence say it’s about stopping a foreign state (China) from waging information warfare against the U.S. and protecting citizens from propaganda campaigns. Keith chats with Craig Albert, Ph.D., from Augusta University about the dangers of TikTok, as well as how foreign nations and other cyberhacker groups utilize social media to subtly (and not-so-subtly) influence the opinions of American citizens.
