The U.S. has joined the growing list of countries, including the U.K., France and the Netherlands, to crack down on TikTok data security and look at banning, or at least restricting, the Chinese-owned social media platform over concerns that it shares data with China's Communist Party (TikTok denies it does).
The massively popular video-sharing platform has already been banned, complete with dozens of other Chinese apps, in India. And the White House is reportedly “very in favor” of a bill that would enable the federal commerce department to ban technologies with links to foreign governments—like TikTok.
