Let's Talk TikTok: Will a Microsoft Sale Happen? Instagram's new 'Reels' Feature & a Class-Action Lawsuit Over TikTok User Data

Episode #5: On today's show, I'll be covering all-things TikTok, including the potential sale to Microsoft (and what the CEO has to say about it), Instagram's new 'Reels' feature to rival TikTok, and a Class-Action lawsuit that claims TikTok steals kid's data and sends it to China (re: an Illinois Law known as the Biometric Information Privacy Act.)
