The Indian government recently banned 59 Chinese apps, including the popular Beijing-based video-sharing app TikTok. The United States is going to follow India. On July 31, US President Donald Trump announced that he would impose a ban on ticks. Although he later retracted this statement somewhat.Because US tech giant Microsoft wants to take responsibility for storing the data of American users of TikTok. That is, they want to buy some part of the tick.
Microsoft has until September 15 to start a dialogue with Bitdance, the Chinese company that owns TikTok. If Microsoft or any other American company cannot buy TikTok by September 15, it will impose sanctions on Trump.It will be the second major Chinese tech company after Huawei to be banned by the United States. Trump wants to ban TikTok for the same reason he banned Huawei.
TikTok has gained popularity as a social media in a short period of time. Its owner, ByteDance, is only eight years old. In 2016, the video sharing app Musical.ly was bought by ByteDance. In less than three years, it has been downloaded more than 2 billion times from the Google Play Store and Apple's App Store. TikTok is the most downloaded app from Apple's App Store. Although a Chinese company, TikTok does not exist in China.
