The TikTok Ban Debate: CEO Testifies Before Congress as Countries Weigh In.

TL;DR Summary
TikTok's future in the US is uncertain as an agreement with a government interagency group that would allow the Chinese-owned app to continue to operate in the US seems to have fallen apart. TikTok's CEO, Shou Zi Chew, will testify before Congress for the first time this week, where he will likely try to make the case that his app is safe and that concerns over its links to the Chinese Communist Party are overblown. The US government is left with the choice of demanding a sell-off or banning TikTok if its owner ByteDance won't oblige.
