Special Edition: TikTok Influencer's Take + Analyzing a Deal Sep 26, 2020

Show notes

For a second week in a row: the Chinese-owned social media app, TikTok, faces a possible ban in the U.S., starting midnight on Sunday.

President Trump says the app poses a national security risk without an agreement with American companies, but the Chinese government may not be on board with the deal currently in-the-works.

Today, you'll hear from two people: a TikTok influencer who relies on the app to make a living, as well as a cybersecurity expert who helps analyze what, if anything, a possible deal with American companies could change for data security.
