Amazon's last-minute bid for TikTok comes as a US ban on the platform is set to take effect Saturday
Briefly

Amazon has made a last-minute offer to purchase TikTok as the U.S. prepares to enforce a ban on the app due to national security concerns linked to its Chinese ownership. Trump's administration had previously allowed TikTok a temporary stay from a ban and hinted at extending it. Meanwhile, both the FBI and FCC express worries about potential data sharing with the Chinese government, although TikTok asserts it has never done this. The urgency mounts as discussions unfold before the impending deadline.
Amazon's bid for TikTok signifies a crucial attempt to acquire an app on the brink of a U.S. ban, highlighting ongoing tensions over data security.
Despite previous government concerns over national security regarding ByteDance, TikTok maintains it has always upheld user data privacy.
