Ep. 148: Balloongate & Banning TikTok ft. Jules Suzdaltsev

There's yet another push for a TikTok ban in Washington, this time on the heels of a purported "spy balloon" from China.

NOTE: Tonight on the Substack app we’re hosting a live chat during the State Of The Union for our paid interns (subscribers). To join the chat, subscribers will just need to head to the chat section of the Substack app and join the conversation! The SOTU begins at 9 PM ET tonight.


Jules Suzdaltzev, creator of the wildly popular Good Morning, Bad News TikTok account, joins us to discuss the renewed calls to ban TikTok in the wake of the purported “Chinese spy balloon” flying over the United States. We get into the melodrama in the media over the balloon, what Americans don’t consider about the extent to which they’re actually spied on online, and how US tech companies are seemingly unchecked with their extensive data collection.
