PopCon #36: TikTok Ban

The Pop Culture Contrarian Podcast

Mar 21 2024 • 47 mins

TikTok, the popular social media app owned by Chinese company ByteDance, has come under fire for privacy concerns, questionable algorithms, and links to the Chinese Communist Party. The House has passed a bill that would force the app to either be banned in America or be sold to an American company for a total severance from China. Does this set an unnerving precedent for free speech and government control, or is it a welcomed protection against foreign adversaries who mean us harm? Join Thomas, Sterling, and Andrew as we discuss every angle.
