The investigation into TikTok's security by the United States continues...
In recent months, TikTok has been under scrutiny by US authorities due to concerns about data privacy and national security. The US government has expressed concern that the app, owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, is collecting and sharing data from American users with the Chinese government. Additionally, it has been reported that TikTok has censored content that does not comply with Chinese government standards.
In response to these concerns, the US government has
imposed a series of restrictions on TikTok. The US Department of Commerce
issued an order in September 2020 that banned the download of TikTok in the
United States. However, a federal judge temporarily blocked the ban, allowing
the app to continue operating in the United States.
In December 2020, the US Department of Commerce issued
a new order requiring TikTok to remove certain features from the app, including
the ability to share videos and process payments. However,
this order has also been temporarily blocked by a federal judge.
The future of TikTok in the United States remains
uncertain. The company has been working to address US national security
concerns, including negotiating a deal with Oracle and Walmart to transfer
ownership of the app to a US entity. However, this deal has not yet
been finalized, and the US government continues to investigate security
concerns related to TikTok.
