TikTok ban in the US concerns ‘politics, not privacy’

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

We look at the history that led up to the US ban of Chinese-owned app TikTok . As New Zealand falls in to recession, the effect of coronavirus has shifted its economy, despite the low number of Covid-related deaths. The impact of wildfires in parts of the US will be on the mind of voters this year as they head to the polls to vote for the next US president, as climate change is partly blamed for many of the blazes. We discuss all this live with guest Colin Peacock from Radio New Zealand, in Auckland. (Image: TikTok app logo in foreground, shadowed US flag in background.
