    Banning TikTok would harm marginalized communities - BEST OF TANGOTI

    This week Biden said he would sign legislation into law banning TikTok if congress passes it. TikTok is one step closer to being banned in the United States after the legislation unanimously passed a big vote last week. 

    Popular TikToker and misinformation researcher Abbie Richards and I discussed what a ban would mean for marginalized communities.

Yes please!

I ❤️ Bridget Todd! But I have noticed the co hosts seem uneasy about podcasting? The halted way they speak kind of grinds it down to the point of it being slow and not contributing that much to the discussion.

peanutbutterandmandi ,

the kind of thinker we should be listening to!

it’s such a treat to listen to Bridget’s thoughts. she’s always bringing great guests and new angles on not just the internet but culture at large. this show is on my rotation on the reg!

I LOVE TANGOTI

I never miss an episode of this show. It keeps me updated on internet culture, tech news, and the online communities and trends that impact our lives every day. Bridget is a treasure and a hero.
