Despite concerns about TikTok's Chinese ownership and data security, President Trump has extended the deadline for enforcement of a proposed ban on the app. This delay allows for further negotiations aimed at separating TikTok from its parent company, ByteDance. While some worry about data privacy, the author argues that average Americans have more significant threats to their data from major companies like Palantir, Facebook, and Google. The future of TikTok in the U.S. remains uncertain as political drama unfolds in the background.
President Trump has once again delayed the enforcement of a bipartisan law that would effectively ban TikTok in the U.S. A deal to separate TikTok from its China-based parent company, ByteDance, has remained elusive.
I am a firm believer that the average person has no reason to worry about China stealing their data via TikTok - they'd have an easier job of just buying the intel directly from Palantir.
