The chapter examines a Senate bill targeting TikTok with proposed sanctions and an enforced separation from its Chinese parent company due to data privacy and national security worries. It delves into the legal battles ahead for TikTok and questions the ban's justifications amidst concerns of China's influence on the app and balancing national security with free speech rights. Discussions also include comparisons of data practices between the US and China, the importance of TikTok's algorithm in ownership changes, and ongoing debates on data privacy and government regulations.
