TikTok at a Crossroads: National Security, Technology, and America’s Digital Future

Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics invites you to a lunchtime panel discussion examining TikTok in the United States and the potential deal to create a U.S.-controlled structure for the platform. The conversation will explore the legal, national security, and policy implications of the agreement—and what it signals about the future of technology governance and U.S.–China relations.


Featuring Jennifer Huddleston of the Cato Institute, and former Senior Biden Administration Official Jim Secreto, this timely discussion will offer expert insight into one of the most consequential tech policy debates shaping America’s digital future.


*Lunch will be served
