US Demands TikTok Sale or Faces Nationwide Ban.
TL;DR Summary
The US government has reportedly requested that TikTok be sold or face a possible ban in the country due to concerns over national security risks posed by data gathered from millions of users. TikTok confirmed the request for a change in ownership, but said a forced sale would not change its data flows or access. The Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States (CFIUS) unanimously recommended ByteDance divest from TikTok. TikTok says it has undertaken an effort to move all US-based data to the US as part of an initiative it calls Project Texas.
