8:23Now PlayingHawk on TikTok, Corruption, and Control: What Are Laws Anymore?
Hawk discusses the current state of TikTok, the TikTok ban, and the controversial sale deal that is reshaping who controls the app. He highlights how figures like Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Rupert Murdoch, Larry Ellison, Mark Andre, and Jeff Yas are tied to the outcome, and why the promises of the legislation do not match the reality.
Hawk focuses on how China and ByteDance still retain ownership and control of the TikTok algorithm, keeping access to American data intact despite the supposed ban. He explores how bipartisan lawmakers pushed the legislation forward under the banner of national security, while powerful lobbying groups and political interests shaped the outcome behind the scenes.
From Jonathan Greenblatt of the Anti-Defamation League to AIPAC, and from BB Netanyahu to media moguls consolidating U.S. outlets, Hawk connects the dots on how the TikTok ban became less about protecting Americans and more about enriching the powerful.
This conversation raises serious questions about democracy, government accountability, political corruption, and the role of media in shaping public opinion. Hawk challenges viewers to think critically about what the TikTok deal really means for data privacy, free speech, and the future of current events.
