In April, President Joe Biden signed a law that requires China’s ByteDance to sell TikTok by Jan. 19. Although both Republicans and Democrats supported the Biden TikTok ban in April, Trump voiced opposition to the ban during his candidacy. At TikTok, meanwhile, Chew has remained quiet since Trump’s victory, just as he had been in the lead-up to Election Day. In his March interview with “Squawk Box,” Trump said Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, posed a much bigger problem than TikTok. Since launching his TikTok account in June, Trump has amassed over 14 million followers.

The US is threatening TikTok's Chinese owners with a US ban if they don't sell their stakes, according to the WSJ. TikTok has responded saying the forced sale won't address the perceived national security risk. Still, TikTok's leadership is considering splitting from ByteDance to work around the national security concerns, Bloomberg reported. In December, the Senate voted to ban TikTok on government devices, and several states have since introduced full or partial bans of the app. Universities have also made moves to ban TikTok.
☆ A TikTok ban or forced sale could lead to major collateral damage for US tech companies like Apple and Chinese apps like Shein

"A big Chinese balloon in the sky and millions of Chinese TikTok balloons on our phones. But US tech companies that rely on data collection for advertising sales or other business practices have fought to curb such regulations. Still, efforts by members of Congress to pass federal legislation around data privacy, such as the American Data Privacy and Protection Act, have faced an uphill battle. Apple's 2021 user privacy changes stunted ad revenue at Facebook and Snapchat-maker Snap, for example. But blocking companies from gathering private information from users could also be a more effective path to protecting Americans while maintaining an avenue for Chinese companies to participate in the global economy.
☆ A TikTok exec says the company overrode its own algorithm to boost views for the World Cup and Taylor Swift, comparing the strategy to Netflix's recommendations

TikTok overrode its algorithm to boost views on the World Cup and Taylor Swift, a company exec said. TikTok's Jeff Louisma compared the practice to how Netflix promotes certain movies on its homepage. Putting guardrails on TikTok's algorithm is a focus for US officials that fear influence campaigns. TikTok has manipulated its own algorithm to promote certain tentpole moments such as the World Cup or when Taylor Swift first joined the platform, a company cybersecurity exec said on Saturday, speaking at the South by Southwest conference in Austin, Texas. TikTok staff also have other mechanisms that can influence the type of content that's surfaced to users on its app.

☆ The war against TikTok won't solve the 'national embarrassment' of how poorly the US protects your data

"A big Chinese balloon in the sky and millions of Chinese TikTok balloons on our phones. TikTok has hurt its own cause when it comes to its reputation around data privacy. For example, the company misrepresented how US user data was managed and then its parent company monitored the locations of reporters who exposed its practices. Still, efforts by members of Congress to pass federal legislation around data privacy, such as the American Data Privacy and Protection Act, have faced an uphill battle. Apple's 2021 user privacy changes stunted ad revenue at Facebook and Snapchat-maker Snap, for example.
