TikTok Judicial Battle: Fighting for Survival in the United States
The United States discusses a legislative act that requires by textedance, a Chinese parent company Tiktok, to sell an app or face a ban in the US. This law, adopted last year, is based on the concern of national security related to the practice of TikTok data processing and its relations with the Chinese government. The decision of this trial will determine the future TikTok in the United States, where it has 170 million users and is an important platform for content and business creators.
“Tiktok's immense data set would Give the Prc a Powerful Tool for Harassment, Recruitment, and Espionage.” - Solictor General Elizabeth Prelogar
