Time to talk about Tik Tok? Dr. Craig Albert explains the reasons we need to know more about the app

· 1 min. read

Earlier this week, TikTok said they were suing the U.S. government to stop a bill passed last month seeking to force ByteDance, TikTok’s Chinese to sell the app or have it banned.


The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for Washington, D.C., argues that the bill violates constitutional protections of free speech.


The suit calls the law an “unprecedented violation” of the First Amendment.


Lawsuits and rhetoric aside - there are serious concerns about TikTok and Dr. Craig Albert is lending his expertise to explain what is going on behind the screens of the popular app.
