Will the U.S. Really Ban TikTok?
Manage episode 416828804 series 2097742
What’s next for TikTok? President Biden signed legislation on April 24 that would ban the popular video-sharing app unless its Chinese owner ByteDance sells to a U.S-based company. Supporters of the law say TikTok poses national security risks, warning that the Chinese government could potentially access sensitive user data or spread misinformation on the app. ByteDance says it has no intention of selling and will fight in the courts to stay in business. We’ll look at what it all could mean for TikTok and its 170 million users in the US.
Guests:
Tim Wu, professor of law, science and technology, Columbia Law School - His latest book is "The Curse of Bigness: Antitrust in the New Gilded Age"
Suzy Loftus, Head of Trust and Safety, TikTok USDS
Sapna Maheshwari, business reporter, New York Times - covering TikTok and emerging media
Vivian Xue, TikTok creator; CEO, Pamper Nail Gallery - based in San Francisco
