The UnWoke Show Season 2, Episode 89: “The U.S. vs TikTok… And What’s at Stake”

TikTok’s future in the United States is now in the hands of the Supreme Court… and the stakes are massive. A federal law is forcing TikTok to either separate from its parent company, ByteDance… or face a potential ban. Now, the case is heading to the Supreme Court. At the center of it: Is this about national security… or free speech? Because TikTok and ByteDance argue the law unfairly targets them and limits what millions of Americans can access and share. Meanwhile, the government says the risks tied to foreign ownership can’t be ignored. So what happens if the Court sides one way or the other? What does it mean for 170 million users… content creators… and the future of social media in the U.S.? Because this decision won’t just affect one app… it could redefine how digital platforms operate in this country. Tim and Rich break it down on The UnWoke Show.   Show Notes https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/18/politics/supreme-court-tiktok-ban/index.html https://www.newser.com/story/361263/supreme-court-will-hear-tiktoks-appeal.html#google_vignette   Social Media https://x.com/UnWokeTheShow https://bsky.app/profile/theunwokeshow.bsky.social   Podcast links https://www.youtube.com/@TheUnWokeShow/videos?app=desktop https://open.spotify.com/show/27rkGZYhccSF8stUzzGxaI https://theunwokeshow.podbean.com/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-unwoke-show/id1686015698 https://goodpods.com/podcasts/the-unwoke-show-309196   Feedback [email protected]
