U.S. Government Bans On Chinese-Owned Video Sharing App TikTok

US government bans on Chinese-  possessed videotape sharing app TikTok reveal Washington’s own precariousness and are an abuse of state power, a Chinese Foreign Ministry  prophet said Tuesday. The US government “has been overstretching the concept of public security and abusing state power to suppress other countries’ companies,” Mao Ning said at a diurnal briefing. “How  doubtful of itself can the US, the world’s top superpower, be to sweat a youthful person’s favorite app to such a degree?” TikTok is used by two- thirds of American teens, but there is concern in Washington that China could use its legal and nonsupervisory powers to gain private  stoner data or to try to push misinformation or narratives favoring China.

On Monday, Canada announced it was joining theU.S. in banning TikTok from all government- issued mobile bias. “I suspect that as the government takes the significant step of telling all civil workers that they can no longer use TikTok on their work phones numerous Canadians from business to private  individuals will reflect on the security of their own data and  maybe make choices, “Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told  journalists after the advertisement.   Canadian Treasury Board President Mona Fortier said the Chief Information Officer of Canada had determined that TikTok “presents an inferior position of threat to  sequestration and security.”  Some have also moved to apply the ban to any app or website possessed by ByteDanceLtd., the private Chinese company  retaining TikTok that moved its headquarters to Singapore in 2020. China has long blocked a long list of foreign social media platforms and messaging apps, including YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
