With the Ban and Revival of TikTok, What’s Going to be the Future of the App

On Jan. 19, Congress announced that the United States-wide TikTok ban would occur. This was news that had been anticipated for months in advance, but the TikTok community was unaware of how events would unfold. The ban was implemented due to growing concerns over data privacy and national security risks associated with the app's Chinese ownership. Lawmakers feared that TikTok could be used to collect sensitive information on American users and potentially share it with theChinese government. This decision reflects increasing tensions and a push for more stringent regulations on foreign-owned digital platforms. . .
