Tik Tok : The Chinese Tik Tok app was once the pioneer of short videos and inshorts videos which are now viral in the internet world. Its use was very popular among the netizens in various countries worldwide.
TikTok has faced bans in a few countries, including India, after accusing the app of tracking or illegally using users’ data.
The US has also banned/restricted the TikTok app in a few states, claiming that their country’s users’ data is being used illegally. In this case, another new problem for the Tik Tok app has now occurred in the US Parliament.
In other words, ByteDance, the owner of Tik Tok app, should leave China and be headquartered in the United States or operate in conjunction with an American company. If this is violated, a bill has been passed to permanently ban the Tik Tok app throughout the United States, and a discussion is about to take place. Reuters The company announced.
The US House of Representatives is set to vote next week on a bill that would force ByteDance to withdraw from China within 165 days (six months).
If the bill passes next week, TikTok, which has about 170 million US users, will be forced out of China.
In this regard, the TikTok app side said that we do not share the data of US users with the Chinese government. It also said that it will not be shared in the future. This bill allows Tik Tok to continue operating in China while Tik Tok operates in the United States. Nor is it clear whether it will be phased out in six months.
The bill would give ByteDance 165 days to pull TikTok out of China. Failure to do so will result in TikTok being legally banned from Apple, Google and other platforms.
Tik Tok claims that the law seeks to ban TikTok outright in the United States, that the government is trying to deprive 170 million Americans of their freedom of expression, and that it will affect millions of businesses and artists.
