TikTok is owned by ByteDance, a technology company based in China. The US says it has two-fold concerns: TikTok collects vast swaths of user data, including sensitive information on viewing habits, that officials argue could fall into the hands of the Chinese government through coercion. Officials have also warned the proprietary algorithm that fuels what users see on the app is vulnerable to manipulation by Chinese authorities, who could pressure ByteDance to shape content on the platform . The Supreme Court will soon decide the fate of TikTok in the U.S. due to concerns over data security and potential manipulation by its Chinese owner, ByteDance. The impending ban, set to take effect on January 19, highlights national security worries, impacting millions of users and small businesses. The decision has significant international implications. Do you think that US application should also face the same fate in other juridisction in the even of Tiktok being banned ?
