I am not a fan of Tic Toc. We have free speech but we abuse it too. Fine write, dear Anaya.

A timely write on the misuse of social platform data. I never liked Tik Tok, although it is very popular.

It's more of a platform for those who want to post vid's. It hosts user-submitted videos, which can range in duration from three seconds to 10 minutes. It can be accessed with a smart phone app.

Very popular in use. I hear the rumors though. I think they should investigate.

It was part of the package deal made along with the 3 AID Bills that passed the other day. Tik Tok was the 4th! Yay

No rumor, TS. Investigation and conclusion underway! Which means that the bill was passed and Congress passed the measure citing national security concerns because of TikTok’s Chinese ties. Both lawmakers and security experts have said there are risks that the Chinese government could lean on ByteDance for access to sensitive data belonging to its 170 million U.S. users or to spread propaganda.The law would allow TikTok to continue to operate in the United States if ByteDance sold it within 270 days, or about nine months, a time frame that the president could extend to a year. The measure is likely to face legal challenges, as well as possible resistance from Beijing, which could block the sale or export of the technology. It’s also unclear who has the resources to buy TikTok, since it will carry a hefty price tag.
