.karaswisher and profgalloway talk about whether the security concerns around China-based app TikTok are something we should be worried about. PivotSchooled
The dynamic duo. Photo: David Talukdar/NurPhoto via Getty Images On Tuesday, Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway debuted their weekly five-part Pivot Schooled Live series. In the first episode, the podcast co-hosts considered the pandemic’s role in boosting already dominant media platforms like Facebook, played tech trivia with Casey Newton and Liz Plank, and more.
One company that came up repeatedly during the show was TikTok. Swisher and Galloway spoke with Vanessa Pappas, TikTok’s general manager, about the Chinese company’s tumultuous week, during which President Trump threatened to ban it, then endorsed Microsoft snapping it up — and the intense scrutiny the company now receiving from all sides.
Later, a viewer posed a question about whether TikTok’s potential threat to Americans’ security has been overrated, considering the many already urgent threats on this front, from Russian hackers to American-made malware.It’s not too late to register for Pivot Schooled.
