Tick Tock for TikTok?

<p>This week, Eric, Dan, and Dylan discuss the new legislation in Utah restricting social media access for minors. Will it work? Is it a good idea? Will it even have a chance to take effect, as social media companies are certain to sue over it? Then, continuing on the same theme, the guys take a look at last week’s congressional hearings on TikTok. Did anyone come out of this looking good? Is a ban on TikTok inevitable now? Does Congress’s reason for banning TikTok even matter? And finally, Xi and Putin meet for a summit. What does that mean for the future of the war in Ukraine and for U.S.-China relations?</p><br><p><a href="http://acton.org/audio" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Subscribe to our podcasts</a></p><p><a href="https://university.acton.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Apply Now for Acton University 2023</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://apnews.com/article/social-media-utah-kids-84bd1f6481071726327bce25cf3e7522" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kids in Utah will need parents’ OK to access social media | Associated Press</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/BradWilcoxIFS/status/1639607878842568704?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Brad Wilcox on Twitter</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/03/utahs-governor-should-veto-social-media-regulations-bill-sb-152" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Utah's Governor Should Veto “Social Media Regulations” Bill S.B. 152 | Electronic Frontier Foundation</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://jonathanhaidt.com/social-media/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Social Media Data from Jonathan Haidt</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/lawmakers-drive-to-rein-in-tiktok-intensifies-after-ceos-testimony-24a57f99" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lawmakers’ Drive to Rein In TikTok Intensifies After CEO’s Testimony | Wall Street Journal</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://thedispatch.com/newsletter/morning/xi-and-putins-burgeoning-bromance/?utm_source=ActiveCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Xi+and+Putin+s+Burgeoning+Bromance&utm_campaign=Xi+and+Putin+s+Burgeoning+Bromance" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Xi and Putin’s Burgeoning Bromance | The Morning Dispatch</a></p><br><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8h_N80qKYOM" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Republican or Not? | Saturday Night Live</a></p><br><p>Photo Credit: ASSOCIATED PRESS</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
