Tik tok banned in us !

 TikTok, a popular social media app, has been at the center of controversy in the United States due to concerns over national security and data privacy. In August 2020, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to ban TikTok in the United States, citing concerns that the Chinese-owned app could be used to collect personal data on American citizens. 


However, the ban was quickly challenged in court by TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, and a group of TikTok creators who argued that the ban violated their First Amendment rights to free speech. In September 2020, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against the ban, allowing TikTok to continue operating in the United States while the case was ongoing.

Since then, the situation has continued to evolve. In November 2020, the Trump administration granted ByteDance a 15-day extension to divest its U.S. operations to a U.S.-based company, in order to address national security concerns. The company began negotiations with several potential buyers, including Microsoft and Oracle, but no deal was reached.

When President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, his administration put the TikTok ban on hold as it conducted a review of the national security concerns. In June 2021, the Biden administration revoked the Trump-era executive orders that sought to ban TikTok and WeChat, another Chinese-owned app.

While the immediate threat of a TikTok ban in the United States has been lifted, the debate over data privacy and national security concerns continues. TikTok has implemented a number of measures to address these concerns, including establishing a U.S. headquarters and data center, hiring American executives, and creating a content moderation team based in the United States.

Overall, the TikTok ban in the United States was a highly controversial issue that raised important questions about data privacy and national security. While the immediate threat of a ban has been lifted, the ongoing debate over these issues will likely continue, as technology continues to play an increasingly important role in our lives.
