A group of elected officials in the United States wants to pass a law to ban TikTok. The application has been in the crosshairs of American authorities for several months.
Many officials believe that the short and entertaining video platform allows Beijing to spy on and manipulate its 150 million users in the U.S. The company has always denied these accusations. In Montana, a judge recently blocked an initiative by the state government to completely ban the application. Although the application continues to be under Washington's surveillance, no federal measures to ban or restrict the use of the social network no longer appear to be considered at this time.
