Special Edition: End of TikTok? Ban to Take Effect Sunday

from The NewsWorthy

It's official: the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a law banning the popular social media app TikTok over national security concerns unless its Chinese owners sell it by Sunday (Jan 19).  Our guests today help explain what a TikTok ban might actually look like, what its 170 million American users can expect next, and more.    First, The Wall Street Journal tech reporter Sarah Needleman shares more about what will happen with the app starting tomorrow, and whether TikTok may still be saved. Then, constitutional law expert Jessica Levinson talks about the Supreme Court justices' decision, and what the options are, legally, for President-elect Trump moving forward.   Join us again for our 10-minute daily news roundups every Mon-Fri!  Learn more about our guests: https://www.theNewsWorthy.com/shownotes Become an INSIDER and get ad-free episodes here: https://www.theNewsWorthy.com/insider Sign-up for our weekly EMAIL: https://www.theNewsWorthy.com/email Get The NewsWorthy MERCH here: https://www.theNewsWorthy.com/merch Sponsors: Control Body Odor ANYWHERE with @lumedeodorant and get 15% off with promo code NEWSWORTHY at Lumepodcast.com/NEWSWORTHY! #lumepod Take control of your data and keep your private life private.
