The United States Looking Into Banning TikTok

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is looking into banning Chinese social media apps from the United States. TikTok is one of the biggest apps used around the world with over 315 million downloads. It is owned by a Beijing based startup company, ByteDance. A statement about the app made by Mike Pompeo said,

People should only download the app if you want your private information in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party

A TikTok spokesperson followed the statement by saying that the company is led by an American CEO and hundreds of employees that protect the safety and security of users in the United States.

We have no higher priority than promoting a safe and secure app experience for our users. We have never provided user data to the Chinese government, nor would we do so if asked.
