TikTok, owned by China-based ByteDance, is one of the most popular social media apps in the US. Some statistics indicate that as many as 170 million people in the US use the video platform, but it isn’t without concern. For example, nearly one-quarter of daily TikTok users worry that the Chinese government is actually gaining access to their personal information. Now, US legislators are voicing similar concerns, and they are taking action. The US House has voted in favor of ByteDance selling TikTok, and the app could be banned altogether if the company does not comply.
