US Government Demands TikTok Sale or Faces Nationwide Ban
TL;DR Summary
The Biden administration has demanded that the Chinese owners of TikTok sell their stakes in the social media app or face a possible ban in the US due to security concerns about the video-sharing app. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) has been negotiating with TikTok for over two years on a way to let the app keep operating in the US. TikTok has countered that a sale wouldn't solve the perceived security problems and is still going ahead with "Project Texas," a plan to route user traffic through Oracle's cloud servers.
