Relatable With Allie Stuckey

Today we're joined by Kara Frederick, director of the Tech Policy Center at the Heritage Foundation, to discuss Congress' recent TikTok hearings and the arguments for and against a nationwide TikTok ban. We discuss how much power China holds over TikTok as a company and what, ultimately, China could do with our data. We talk about how it's not just a concern when it comes to government data and why it's also dangerous for China to have YOUR specific data. We also look at a clip from the TikTok hearing in which TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew cannot deny that the CCP is manipulating content on the app. But does China manipulate TikTok algorithms to push ideologies that weaken the U.S., while restricting those very same ideologies in its own country? We explain why it's naive to think the answer is no. We also talk about the RESTRICT Act, a bill proposed to ban TikTok, and the opposition from both sides of the political aisle. --- Timecodes: (03:24) Interview begins (05:20) China taking TikTok data (09:25) Why shoul
