TikTok is considered the world’s most successful video app. But with concerns that U.S. data could be transmitted to China’s government, President Biden banned TikTok from government phones. Should the White House go further?

Arguing “Yes” is Kori Schake, Senior Fellow and Director of Foreign and Defense Policy Studies, American Enterprise Institute.
Arguing “No” is Milton Mueller, Professor, Georgia Institute of Technology School of Public Policy and Founder and Director, Internet Governance Project.
