President Trump has threatened to ban TikTok in the USA. A federal judge partially granted TikTok's request for a temporary injunction against the Trump administration's push to ban the app in the United States. Government lawyers argue that TikTok's ownership by a Chinese firm represented an "immediate danger" to national security and that the app's American users' data risks winding up in the hands of the Chinese government. There are also proposals for US interests to buy TikTok in the USA.
