YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

After a second 75-day extension to TikTok’s sell-or-ban affair, we take a look at TikTok from a national security standpoint. Former president of the Council on Foreign Relations Richard Haass says that “Tiktok America is the equivalent of drinking several cans of soda a day” and that Americans should be concerned about vulnerabilities that are exposed through its data. Cato Institute’s Jennifer Huddleston poses the question of whether this is more about TikTok’s ties to China or how young people's use social media makes older generations uncomfortable.
