Best Answer

US government officials have claimed that TikTok poses a serious threat to national security. In August of 2020, President Trump issued an executive order to effectively ban any US company or individual from making transactions with ByteDance, the Chinese parent company of the TikTok app, after 45 days. Although users who have already downloaded the app will still have access, starting Sunday, September 20th, no updated versions of the app will be available for download in the US. More restrictions could be announced at a later date.

Yes, everybody. Tiktok is only available to those who've downloaded it before Sunday, September 20th, 2020. After this date, nobody will be able to gain access to it, also it will no longer remain in the App Store.Β

TikTok was and likely is going to be banned, but there are American companies still trying to purchase TikTok for North America. The most likely company to purchase it is Oracle, but there are others in the debates.Β

Trump accuses the chinese branded app, Tik Tok of stealing data collected through the app. He banned the app in a attempt to protect peoples security but recently a american company by the name of ByteDance has made deals to buy the app, which might unban the app.

TikTok is from China which we all know that they are Communist.

This is actually a good thing because they steal your data when you post videos. They watch you which is why its getting banned.

I actually like that they are.
