TikTok Faces US Ban Unless Sold

The United States (US) has asked TikTok’s Chinese owner, ByteDance, to sell its US operations to an American buyer or face a ban.

President Joe Biden recently signed a law that could lead to TikTok being banned in the US within a year.

The concern is that the app’s data could be exposed to the Chinese government, posing a risk to national security.
