There is a small piece in today's newspaper saying this:
Quote:
"Video-sharing app TikTok will be banned in the US, Donald Trump announced yesterday.
The President said an executive order to block the Chinese app could be signed this weekend.
Security officials fear TikTok could be used to collect the data of 80 million mostly young Americans who use it.
But owner, ByteDance has denied it is controlled by the Chinese state.
"Mr. Trump said: "As far as TikTok is concerned, we're banning them."
India blocked TokTok in June amid a border dispute with China.
Unquote.
In response to Trump signing the order, TikTok said it would be selling off its US division and are already in talks to do so.
