Summary

Lawmakers in Washington continue to put pressure on Big Tech. This week, Virginia Democratic Senator Mark Warner spoke with Jessica Rosenthal about the power of social media companies, calls to ban TikTok over its ties to the Chinese Communist Party, and what kind of influence the CCP may have over the app's algorithm. Warner raised concerns about what kind of data they're taking off our phones and why the app popular with young people is a national security threat. Warner also talked about Twitter CEO Elon Musk releasing files, including from around the 2020 election that show how top Twitter executives handled a controversial New York Post story about then-presidential candidate Joe Biden's son, Hunter, and Hunter's laptop. The conversation took place before Musk fired Twitter attorney Jim Baker over allegations Baker, a former FBI attorney, filtered files before they were turned over to an independent journalist for release. And it also took place before the second batch of Twitter files was released by former New York Times journalist, Bari Weiss. Even before those headlines, Warner seemed in favor of regulating social media companies, and he insists he has legislation ready to go. Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the conversations in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire interviews with Sen. Warner and hear why he agrees with Republicans who believe now is the time to hold social media companies accountable. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
