Kara loves air fryer TikToks. But she only dares to scroll through
them on a burner phone, as she tells TikTok’s Chief Operating
Officer, Vanessa Pappas. As the social media platform has
gone gangbusters – accumulating over a billion monthly users
globally – concerns have emerged about TikTok’s ownership structure
and roots in China. The U.S. government has questions about what
data the app is amassing, whether that data can be accessed by the
Chinese Communist Party and if the platform is a tool for espionage
or foreign interference and propaganda. Kara has those questions
too. And she asks Pappas all of them. Before the interview, Kara
and Nayeema talk about the newsmakers of the day. They scan through
the Elon Musk text messages released in the Twitter-Musk
proceedings and explore what the texts reveal about Silicon
Valley’s powerful elite – including Twitter founder Jack Dorsey.
They also discuss recent layoffs at Meta – and how Mark Zuckerberg
will navigate the company’s recent struggles without his former
right-hand exec, Sheryl Sandberg. You can find Kara and
Nayeema on Twitter @karaswisher and @nayeema. Learn more
