The Future of TikTok
Update: 2025-09-28
Description
Episode 14 of Politech dives deep into TikTok — the app that’s more than just viral dances and memes. Dale and Matt explore how its powerful algorithm keeps us hooked, the fine line between conspiracy theories and facts about its data practices, and what government oversight (or lack of it) really means.
They tackle the big questions: Is TikTok just entertainment, or is it a tool of influence and control? What happens if political leaders manipulate algorithms to silence critics or track dissent? And how much of our personal data is really up for grabs?
This episode is serious but fun, unpacking the tech, the politics, and the cultural impact of an app shaping a generation.
