In August 2020, former President Donald Trump issued an executive order that would ban TikTok in the United States. The order cited concerns that the app, which is owned by Chinese company ByteDance, could potentially compromise national security or be used to collect data on American citizens.
The Trump administration argued that the Chinese government could use TikTok to collect data on American users, including their location, browsing history, and other personal information. This information could be used for espionage, blackmail, or other nefarious purposes.
