Adam Klein, Director of the Strauss Center at the University of Texas at Austin and former Chairman of the U.S. Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, joins The Realignment. Marshall and Adam discuss the case for forcing ByteDance to divest itself from TikTok or face a ban, why a forced divestment of TikTok passes constitutional muster, the case for treating a social media app like a radio station or cable network from a foreign-ownership ban perspective, and how to balance the American tradition of free speech and privacy in national security contexts.
