The app has come under fire over privacy concerns
After the administration of President Joe Biden asked employees to delete the TikTok app from their mobile devices, another tough measure is expected to be taken. The US government wants TikTok to be sold or else it will be banned in the country.
The video-sharing app, owned by Chinese company ByteDance, is accused of posing a national security risk through data collected from millions of users.
For years, US officials have raised concerns that data from the popular app could fall into the hands of the Chinese government. Biometric data as well as the location of users can be obtained through TikTok.
TikTok has been at the center of criticism in the US since the administration of former White House leader Donald Trump. This app has a billion users worldwide and is especially popular among young people.
