Shutdown of ByteDance app in the States

TikTok, which is owned by Beijing-based ByteDance, instead is planning on immediately shutting down in the States.A potential TikTok ban has been lingering for several years now. Donald Trump first proposed removing the app from the U.S. during his first term in office, before Congress ultimately passed the law banning the app last year.

The chief concern U.S. lawmakers say they have with TikTok is that it could double as a spyware app for the Chinese communist government. The Supreme Court is currently weighing TikTok’s plea to overturn the law banning the app, but it does not appear likely before Sunday, when the app’s ban date hits. Could Tiktok be used to spy other countries ?
