“Death of TikTok” Print

Description

“There has never been an app banned by the American government before! This is outrageous!” yelled the children, influencers, and marketers. Meanwhile…

“NEW YORK (AP) — The Federal Trade Commission is investigating TikTok over its data and security practices, a probe that could lead to a settlement or a lawsuit against the company, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The investigation is the latest battle in Washington for the social media company, which is already fighting against a federal bill that could ban the platform in the U.S. if it doesn’t break ties with its Beijing-based parent company, ByteDance.

In its investigation, the FTC has been looking into whether TikTok violated a portion of federal law that prohibits “unfair and deceptive” business practices by denying that individuals in China had access to U.S. user data, said the person, who is not authorized to discuss the investigation”

..and then..

DailyMail: “TikTok is a national security threat, says FBI director as he issues chilling warning about how the Chinese government is using Americans’ data”

“FBI Director Christopher Wray has sounded the alarm over the ‘national security threat’ posed by TikTok as the platform faces a ban in the US.

While influencers panic over potentially losing their favorite app, the intelligence chief warned last night that users should be concerned their data is being filtered to the ‘Chinese intelligence services.’

‘TikTok, for us, represents a national security concern. The reason I say that is TikTok’s parent company is beholden to the Chinese government,’ Wray told NBC Nightly News’ Lester Holt.”

..And then TikTok died, joining Vine in the video app graveyard.
