Every screen on the planet : the secret story of TikTok

Baker-White, Emily2025
Books, Manuscripts
The global story of the world's most controversial social media network and the struggle to control it. TikTok boasts 1.6 billion active users worldwide and wields unprecedented power over our culture. Its crown jewel is the most addictive algorithm ever invented. As a result, it has become a political football all over the world. In 'Every Screen on the Planet', Harvard-trained lawyer and investigative journalist Emily Baker-White charts TikTok's rise - from its Chinese founders' early ambitions to its emergence as the world's most valuable startup. She examines its potential value as a surveillance and propaganda tool for strongmen and the huge controversy it has fostered, from India to Washington, DC.
