TikTok’s CEO Shou Chew testified in front of the House Energy and Commerce Committee on Thursday in defense of the popular app. The Biden administration is giving TikTok an ultimatum, sell TikTok or face a U.S. ban of the app. Lawmakers grilled Chew for more than 5 hours about whether TikTok is a threat to national security. The Dog Eared Book Owner Carrie Deming joined Yahoo Finance to discuss how a ban could impact her independent book store. “The TikTok I know looks nothing like what they were talking about," Deming said. "I'm on BookTok. It is the most wholesome corner of any of the internet.” Deming told Yahoo Finance a third of the store’s sales come from the e-commerce site, pushed up significantly by the bookstore’s TikTok account. “My book store's been open for eight years. And for that whole time we've been on Facebook and Instagram...when I do a post on the Meta platforms, they're rather ineffectual.” Watch the full interview with Seana Smith and Dave Briggs here.

TikTok CEO Shou Chew testified before U.S. lawmakers on Thursday. The social media executive defended the video app amid concerns about its roots in China. As TikTok looks to add to its 150 million monthly active American users, concerns grow over the app’s danger to U.S. national security and Americans. “This is a real tech success story for China that has become incredibly politically toxic to Washington,” says Rhodium Group’s Reva Goujon.The escalating tensions over TikTok could be about more than the app itself, with Goujon saying issues with the app are the catalyst "for something much bigger in play, especially as the U.S. has been trying to get to a more coherent data security policy." U.S. lawmakers recently introduced the RESTRICT Act, which is aimed to tackle national security threats from foreign tech.

Google, Facebook, Snapchat and Pinterest stocks have soared, but TikTok still has time on the clock.

Lawmakers are driving forward possible legislation restricting or banning TikTok over fears the social media app could be weaponized. "This app preys on children," Keith Krach, chairman of the Krach Institute for Tech Diplomacy at Purdue, tells Yahoo! Finance. Krach, who served as former under secretary of state in the Trump administration, says the app monitors private information like bank records and location data. The app, which is ultimately owned by Chinese company ByteDance, has also seen criticism for allegations of censorship, access of U.S. user data, and propaganda concerns. TikTok's ownership has made it a long-running target by the U.S. government, with the Trump Administration saying in 2020 it would ban the app. TikTok CEO Shou Chew testified before Congress today in the hopes of addressing some of these concerns. The executive said TikTok pledged commitments in four key areas: it would keep teenager safety a top priority, prevent unauthorized foreign access of U.S. user data, commit to free expression, and will be transparent and give access to monitors. Critics say the commitments do not go far enough. "This app is built to be weaponized," says Keith Krach, chairman of the Krach Institute for Tech Diplomacy at Purdue. "It is built to be addicting. It's disguised as candy, but it's really cocaine." Above, Yahoo! Finance's Jared Blikre spoke to Krach. Watch the full interview here.
