Tick-Tock, TikTok: What Makes It A National Security Threat

Category: News & Politics
Duration: 00:14:47
Publish Date: 2024-04-29 19:41:41
Description: After a series of classified national security briefings, Congress passed a law that will ban TikTok if it is not sold by its Chinese parent company. It is not clear what specific risks they're reacting to, but experts point to a widespread, if ineffectual, state-backed disinformation effort and other data-privacy concerns.

This episode: senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, political correspondent Susan Davis, and disinformation correspondent Shannon Bond.
