The prospect of TikTok disappearing from the American digital landscape could soon become a reality if the Biden Administration and the Department of Justice (DOJ) do not provide a clear path forward in addressing national security concerns surrounding the popular social media platform.
TikTok, operated by the Chinese company ByteDance, has been the subject of increased scrutiny in recent years, as US officials fear that the app could potentially be used to collect user data and transmit it back to China. This has led to ongoing discussions and negotiations between the company and the US government, and some progress has been made. However, there remains a lack of definitive action, leaving the app’s future in the United States uncertain.
