By Craig Needles

March 20, 2024 - 8:10pm

The US is a step closer to banning TikTok.

What will that mean in Canada? And for people who make their living on that site? And is TikTok really any worse than apps like Facebook, Instagram or YouTube?

Craig welcomes Dr. Anabel Quan-Haase, from the Faculty of Media and Information Studies at Western, to the podcast to breakdown those questions and more.

The Craig Needles Podcast is powered by Downtown London and the Covent Garden Market.
