A few weeks ago, it looked like the US government was on a fast track to banning TikTok. A committee in the House of Representatives voted unanimously in favor of a bill that would see the app either banned or sold, before the broader House passed the same bill in sweeping fashion, and even President Joe Biden said he’d sign the bill if it hit his desk. Then, the momentum just... stopped.
So we spend the whole show listening to your voicemails from the Vergecast Hotline , catching up on the latest in both stories and trying to figure out where things go from here. We also once again ask you to vote for us at The Webby Awards, where The Vergecast is nominated for Best Technology Podcast. It’s not cool to want things, but we want to win so bad, and we’d be so grateful for your votes.
