The case against the TikTok ban bill


Associate Professor Justin Cappos commented on ineffectiveness of the House of Representatives’ so-called TikTok ban bill to curtail the largely unregulated data broker industry that collects Americans’ personal data via apps, websites, credit card companies and other businesses:  “If the US really wants to solve this, the way to do it isn't to blame a social media company in China and make them the face of the problem. It's really to pass the meaningful data privacy regulations and go after [data] collection and go after these data brokers.”
