Another week, another concerted effort to ban TikTok in the US \u2013 except this time, it could actually happen. In this episode, Cherlynn and Devindra chat with Engadget Senior Editor Karissa Bell around the latest TikTok drama. The House passed a bill that could ultimately ban the company if ByteDance doesn\u2019t sell it off within six months. It may face a tougher fight in the Senate, but if it\u2019s approved there President Biden has said he\u2019s willing to sign it into law.<\/p>\n
Is this a justified fight against the Chinese-owned social media company, or is it the sum of our political fears against all things China? (Maybe it\u2019s a bit of both?) We discuss why this potential ban could be a huge civil rights violation, as well as the need for true data privacy laws in the US, which would apply to all social networks.<\/p>\n
