TikTok is not yet banned in the U.S., although there are calls for such an action. U.S. government officials claim that TikTok is a national security threat due to the possibility of the company’s parent, ByteDance, handing over the data of American users to the Chinese government. The U.S. has also raised concerns about propaganda being spread via TikTok and the addictive qualities of the app, especially for young people.
