TikTok's Rough Path: From Popular Trend to Political Fight.
Reading
TikTok is a popular video app that lets people share short videos. Many people were worried when the US government talked about banning it.
The US government was worried about TikTok because it is owned by a Chinese company. They were concerned that the Chinese government might be able to access user data.
TikTok tried to address these concerns by proposing to store US user data in the US. They also said they would allow the US government to inspect their systems.
However, the US government wasn't convinced and passed a law that would ban TikTok unless it was sold to a US company. This led to a lot of legal challenges and uncertainty about the app's future.
The deadline for the ban was approaching, and it was unclear if TikTok would be able to find a buyer in time. This created a tense situation for TikTok users and the company itself.
