On this episode of Make Sense, Lindsay Tabas sits down with Eric Goldman discuss the US government's attempt to ban #tiktok . They analyze the #ban on TikTok, its implications for American consumers, and the evidence (or rather lack of evidence) supporting the national security threat allegations. In this conversation, Lindsay and Eric touch on the manipulation of content, the trade war between China and the #US, the spread of #misinformation, and the impact of technology on society. They challenge the idea that TikTok's #algorithm is being manipulated by #china and argue that the focus should be on educating users to discern credible information.

Lindsay and Eric also delve into the issues of data privacy, content manipulation, and propaganda, highlighting the hypocrisy of governments in censoring speech and acquiring consumer data. The conversation raises questions about trust, systemic change, and the need for a holistic approach to address these concerns. They also highlight the importance of questioning all sources, thinking independently, and preserving the positive aspects of the internet.
