Episode notes

TikTok is doing a big press push, inviting people like me into the transparency center.

Their fate's kind of going to be decided by what this committee for foreign investment in the United States,. CFIUS thinks here in the near term.

This episode was produced by Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard with help from Haleema Shah, engineered by Patrick Boyd, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
