Ep 69 // Is TikTok Banned? Explaining the Supreme Court’s Decision and Its Implications

Ariel Yu

is TikTok banned? Explaining the supreme court’s decision and its implications


Welcome to our first ever combo podcast episode! That’s right, the We Grow Together Podcast and the Dealmaking with Laura DiFrancesco are releasing the same episode. It is not often that a topic of conversation aligns with both podcasts, but in recent events, we believe that this issue affects us all. The popular app, TikTok, went dark on Saturday January 18, 2025 around 10:30pm. In this episode, Laura used her background in law to discuss the logistics of this “TikTok Ban.” Going over the basics of the United States Government, Laura discusses how this is an issue of national security and not free speech. She goes over the ownership structure of the app and its implications for data privacy for both users and non-users. The conversation highlights the mistakes made by various parties in the legal arguments surrounding the ban and the broader implications for businesses, content creators, and everyday people. This is an ever changing issue and most Americans are not educated on what this “ban” really means.

Reviews from people who loved flourish

"I attended a networking event at Flourish and it was fabulous. I loved meeting so many forward thinking women and the space was beautiful. Laura and Shelley were so kind, attentive, and generous with sharing and problem solving using their unique entrepreneurial backgrounds during a round table discussion with the attendees. Would highly recommend!"

"Flourish is a beautiful space! I rented part of the space for an hour to do a photo shoot for work pictures. Lots of natural light which was great for pics. Easy to schedule and great communication with owner to make the reservation seamless."

"Perfect space for ANYTHING! I've had photoshoots here, events here, and even come twice a week to meet with my team. The space is stunning and I couldn't recommend it more. The owner Laura is the sweetest human ever AND you can bring your furry friends!"
