What's the Deal with TikTok? (with Asha Rangappa)

CAFE Contributor Asha Rangappa joins Elie Honig to break down the bipartisan efforts to get TikTok banned in the U.S. and the lawsuits TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, faces—one brought by the federal government arguing TikTok violated child privacy laws and 14 more filed by state attorneys general alleging the app is harming children’s mental health. This is the latest installment of a new special series of episodes exclusively for members of CAFE Insider.
