This week we are joined by Petra Molnar, Harvard faculty associate, lawyer and author of the newly released book "The Walls Have Eyes: Surviving Migration in the Age of Artificial Intelligence," sharing how Big Tech and AI will enable Trump's immigration policies. Ben has an update on the effort to ban TikTok in the United States. Dave's got the story of the NYPD using city-wide surveillance to help catch the United Health Care CEO killer.

While this show covers legal topics, and Ben is a lawyer, the views expressed do not constitute legal advice. For official legal advice on any of the topics we cover, please contact your attorney.

This week’s Caveat Briefing covers the story of how a federal appeals court upheld a law requiring TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the app or face a U.S. ban by January 19, 2025, citing national security concerns. TikTok, arguing the law violates First Amendment rights, plans to appeal to the Supreme Court amid ongoing debates over censorship, free speech, and foreign influence. Curious about the details? Head over to the Caveat Briefing for the full scoop and additional compelling stories.
