  • TikTok Biography Flash: Montana Ban Dismissed But New Privacy Policy Collects More Data Than Ever 01.03.2026 9min
    This episode of TikTok Biography Flash breaks down the latest major developments surrounding TikTok in the United States as of late February 2026. Host Vanessa Clark covers the dismissal of the legal challenge to Montana's 2023 TikTok ban law, explaining how the ban became moot after ByteDance sold majority ownership to American companies including Oracle, Silver Lake, and MGX. The episode dives deep into TikTok's controversial new U.S. privacy policy released in January 2026, which expands data collection to include precise location data, racial and ethnic origin, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, immigration status, financial information, and government identification numbers. Privacy advocates and cybersecurity experts, including former White House privacy official Timothy Edgar from Brown University and Harvard Law School, weigh in on why changing TikTok's ownership structure does not address the fundamental data architecture risks that made the app controversial in the first place. The episode examines the uncomfortable irony of a post-sale TikTok collecting more user data than ever before, despite the ownership change being framed as a national security win. Whether you are a TikTok user trying to understand what the new terms of service mean for your personal data, a policy follower tracking the intersection of tech regulation and national security, or simply someone who wants sourced and precise analysis rather than headline spin, this episode provides a thorough and clear breakdown of where things stand and what questions remain unanswered about the platform's evolving identity in the United States.
