Is this the end of TikTok?

Should we follow the example of the US and talk about banning TikTok in the UK?

Is TikTok going to be banned in the United States, and if so why is the social media giant in trouble?

US President Joe Biden has approved a new law to block the platform which ByteDance runs; a Chinese government-owned company.

Concerns have been raised about the app providing data and information to the country’s government without the user's knowledge.

TikTok has over 1bn monthly active users, making it the world's 4th largest social media platform.

It's double the size of Snapchat and quickly catching up to Instagram.

"Rest assured, we aren't going anywhere.

“The facts and the Constitution are on our side and we expect to prevail again," said chief executive Shou Zi Chew.

A statement by the company read: "This unconstitutional law is a TikTok ban, and we will challenge it in court.

"We believe the facts and the law are clearly on our side, and we will ultimately prevail."

In Great Britain, the Armed Forces have considered removing the app due to concerns about security safety relating to the Chinese Government.

US politicians have expressed great concerns that the company could share user data with the Chinese government, despite repeated assurances from TikTok that it would not.
