Let’s break down how TikTok became Trump’s public enemy No. 1 and what might happen in just 45 days
Photo: TikTok After weeks of rumors, exoduses from major TikTokers, and endless amounts of confusion, Donald Trump issued an executive order on Thursday August 6 giving TikTok’s Chinese owners, ByteDance, 45 days to sell the app to a U.S.-based company. ByteDance merged TikTok with American company Music.ly in 2017, after it purchased Music.ly for $1 billion, and the app soared in popularity.
On Thursday, August 6, he issued an executive order giving ByteDance 45 days to sell TikTok to an American company, citing TikTok’s security and reported censorship.Well, we know the app was fined $5.7 million in 2019 for Music.ly’s mishandling of info from kids under 13 without a parent’s permission, a violation of U.S. privacy laws.
On September 25, 2019, The Guardian confirmed reports that TikTok’s moderation “advances Chinese foreign policy” by suppressing political and historical content deemed controversial. ByteDance responded that it had stopped using those moderation policies back in May 2019 and would up its transparency. Those assurances did not convince Trump, and these reports now fuel U.S. government suspicions that the app is compromised.
