Unless you've been stuck under a rock lately, you're probably aware that TikTok is in some hot water right now. The app is currently facing a nationwide ban in the U.S., and CEO Shou Zi Chew was recently grilled by lawmakers about TikTok's practices and how it handles consumer app data.
The U.S. fears the Chinese government could collect data from U.S. users via TikTok owner ByteDance. Because of this, the app has already been banned on government devices in both the United States and Canada, with the U.K. also considering a ban. However, this recent move would spread the ban nationwide, which may not be popular among the app's audience of more than 113 million U.S. users.
