What's the Deal with TikTok? (with Asha Rangappa)

In this excerpt of CAFE Insider, CAFE Contributors Elie Honig and Asha Rangappa discuss the reasons why the U.S. government believes the social media app, TikTok, poses a serious national security threat.  In the full episode, Elie and Asha break down the bipartisan efforts to ban TikTok in the U.S. and the different lawsuits the company faces—one brought by the federal government arguing TikTok violated child privacy laws and 14 more filed by state attorneys general alleging the app is harming children’s mental health.
