TikTok offered the Biden administration a kill switch. Today on “Post Reports,” why the U.S. government declined.

In 2022, TikTok offered the U.S. government an extraordinary deal.
The social media app – owned by a Chinese company – said it would let federal officials pick its U.S. board of directors, would give the government veto power over each new hire and would pay an American company that contracts with the Defense Department to monitor its source code.
The Biden administration, however, went its own way.
Today on “Post Reports,” tech reporter Drew Harwell takes host Elahe Izadi behind the scenes of the U.S. government’s decision to pass on TikTok’s proposal.
Today’s show was produced by Rennie Svirnovskiy. It was edited by Lucy Perkins and mixed by Sean Carter.
