Episode notes

The CEO of TikTok testified before Congress as there is growing rumblings and discussion over a nationwide ban on the app. The United States has never before banned a social media company from existence, from operating in our borders. It seems like people love the product. Obviously, they're addicted to it. They're spending whenever 90 minutes a day on and on average young folks. Why should TikTok not be banned? First of all, I think it's important to discuss how unprecedented of a move this would be. And this is an app that has over 150 million Americans on it.

They cover AOC's arguments against banning TikTok (2:29), Alibaba's six-way split (18:43), Disney's metaverse cuts (28:17), Substack's equity crowdfunding (39:16), Lyft's precarious position, and more!
