Based on explosive reporting that caused TikTok to track the author and led to an ongoing criminal investigation, Baker-White's engrossing narrative takes us inside the struggle as hawks in Congress push the company to the brink while the US government seeks backdoor access to observe and influence TikTok's data stream. Touching on politics, finance, business, and technology, she explains how the war for TikTok will either create a blueprint for autocrats to warp our information landscape or close the open internet as we know it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emily Baker-White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1324086661\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781324086666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
