TikTok Banned in NYC

With many U.S. states — and even Congress — sharing similar sentiments about the Chinese-owned platform, Shelly Palmer, Professor of Advanced Media in Residence at Syracuse University’s Newhouse School, speaks with Tashanea Whitlow on Fox 5’s Good Day New York about the controversy.
