  • Summary

  • Last April, the Senate passed legislation that would ban TikTok in the U.S unless its owners agreed to sell the platform. After the app’s parent company ByteDance filed a First Amendment lawsuit challenging the ban, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled in favor of the ban two days before it was set to take effect. TikTok failed to secure a deal in time and the platform went dark on Jan. 18. However, it returned the next day after then-President-elect Donald Trump announced he would pause the ban, with a pop-up message that read, “​​Welcome back! Thanks for your patience and support. As a result of President Trump's efforts, TikTok is back in the U.S.!”


    According to an executive order signed on the day of President Trump’s inauguration, the ban has now been postponed for a 75 day period. In this episode, Thomas Rahkola interviews Biola students senior Anjoli “Jo” Person, freshman Eve Harter, freshman Matthew Jonker and sophomore Sarah Kim to get their perspective on the app and the U.S. government’s efforts to ban it.
