TikTok security concerns | 6

Author: Curiouscast November 23, 2023 Duration: 19:31
TikTok is one of the most popular apps around the world, with more than one billion users, but in February of 2023, Canada's federal government announced a ban of the app on government devices. It's a move several countries have made in recent months. TikTok has maintained the app isn’t unique in the amount of information it collects and all social media companies should be looked at with the same scrutiny. On this episode of What happened to…?, Erica Vella speaks with experts about whether these concerns are legitimate and if similar measures will be taken against other social media apps.

Remember that major news story that dominated the headlines for weeks, then suddenly vanished from the public eye? Global News What Happened To...? picks up the narrative right where the rolling news coverage stopped. Hosted by Global News reporter Erica Vella, this podcast digs into the lasting consequences and unexpected outcomes of events we all thought we understood. It’s not just a recap of the past; it’s a deep, thoughtful look at how those pivotal moments continue to shape our world long after the media spotlight has moved on. Each episode focuses on a single question, revisiting stories like the Fukushima nuclear disaster, the dramatic rescue of the Chilean miners, or the viral frenzy of the Ice Bucket Challenge to uncover what followed. Vella guides listeners through meticulous research and fresh reporting, often speaking directly with the people whose lives were forever changed. You’ll hear updates on recovery efforts, learn about ongoing legal battles, and discover whether those well-intentioned global movements actually led to lasting change. Produced by Curiouscast, this series sits at a fascinating crossroads between history, culture, and current affairs, offering a necessary perspective in our fast-paced news cycle. Tune in for a compelling blend of investigative journalism and human storytelling that provides satisfying, and sometimes surprising, answers to the questions we’re still asking.
