The TikTok Dilemma: Biden's Limited Options.

China's opposition to a sale of TikTok has left the Biden administration with few clear options, including trying to ban the app without congressional help or pushing a sale through a government body that vets foreign companies. The administration has long feared that Beijing could compel TikTok to hand over the sensitive data of American users or use its powerful content recommendation algorithm to spread propaganda. The White House had negotiated a deal for TikTok to store the data of its U.S. users on Oracle servers in America, but that proposal was met with skepticism from some of the administration's top players, leading the administration to push for a sale.
