Extra: Time Is Running Out For TikTok

Time may be running out for TikTok.   The social media app could be banned in America by January 19th if it does not divest itself from its Chinese parent company, Bytedance.   Security experts and lawmakers have long warned that China uses the app to collect data on the millions of Americans who use it and influence our country’s politics and culture by manipulating what content is seen.   This past week, FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony spoke to cyber security expert John Cofrancesco about TikTok's security concerns and the likelihood of the app being banned from America’s smartphones.   Cofrancesco, the CEO of Applied AI Company, explained why TikTok differs from other data-collecting apps like Facebook and Google and why the Chinese government finds the information collected from TikTok valuable.   We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.   Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with cyber security expert John Cofrancesco. This will allow you to learn more about the controversy surrounding TikTok and the ban that could be implemented in just a few weeks.  Learn more about your ad choices.
