The Rundown on TikTok

In recent years, there have been several criticisms of social media applications, but two social media applications, in particular, have landed themselves in hot water with President Trump: TikTok and WeChat. Over the last few months, executive orders have been implemented, lawsuits filed, and tensions between the United States and China have heightened. What role does regulation have to play? Where does CFIUS come in? Will TikTok continue to operate in the United States? On this episode of the Administrative Law Review's A Hard Look, tune in to listen to Fatema Merchant and Reid Whitten, from Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton, explain the TikTok and WeChat controversy and hypothesize about where it goes from here.
