Description

With a billion users worldwide, TikTok has taken the youth by storm — but as the White House delays a deal with the video app over national-security concerns, and states like Maryland move to ban the service from government-owned hardware, the opacity behind the scale of personal data TikTok collects and what it does with it has U.S. regulators mulling whether to issue a crackdown. Emily Baker-White, technology reporter at Forbes, and Kaya Yurieff, who reports on the creator economy for The Information, join Chuck to delve into what we know (and don't know) about the privacy risks associated with TikTok.
