The 'TikTok ban' bill has been attached to a must-pass package of foreign aid, making it more likely than ever that TikTok will face a forced sale or ban in the United States. James Palmer joins the podcast to talk about the potential ban of TikTok in this member-exclusive podcast. We discuss the CCP's relationship with companies like ByteDance, the free speech implications of banning a social media platform, and whether or not the CCP should be allowed to control a major platform like TikTok.

that smartphones and social media might play. Should we be taking action to restrict young people's access to smartphones and social media?
I'm joined by Shoshana Weissman of the R Street Institute, and we debate the benefits vs the harms of social media, whether or not to support government regulations, and how we can build a healthier childhood for kids growing up today.
