TikTok faces pressure to sell or risk nationwide ban.
TL;DR Summary
The Biden administration has demanded that TikTok's Chinese ownership sell the app or face a possible ban due to national security concerns. This marks a significant shift in the administration's position towards TikTok, which had been under scrutiny over fears that Beijing could request Americans' data from the app. TikTok said it was weighing its options and was disappointed by the decision. The company said its security proposal, which involves storing Americans' data in the United States, offered the best protection for users. TikTok's CEO is scheduled to testify before the House Energy and Commerce Committee next week.
