TikTok ban news: After India, now the bad days of Chinese app TikTok are about to begin in America also. Because, it can be banned. A bill in this regard was introduced a few days ago, which will now be voted on.
Shocking claim in intelligence report
A shocking thing has come to light in the report of the American intelligence agency regarding this application. It is being said that this Chinese app can be used to influence elections in America. US National Intelligence Agency Director Avril Haynes told the House Intelligence Committee that China could use the social media app TikTok to influence the 2024 US election.

These Chinese apps have often been accused of sharing users' data with China. This was the reason why it was banned in India. Democratic Congressman Raja Krishnamurthy questioned whether China's ruling Communist Party (CCP) would use TikTok to influence elections. In response, Haynes said, “We cannot rule out that the CCP will use it.”
What alternative to TikTok was given?
Krishnamurthy is also the ranking Democrat on the House Select Committee on China, which introduced a bill last week with its Republican chairman, Mike Gallagher. ByteDance, the app's Chinese owner, has been given about six months to sell the TikTok app, which is used by 170 million Americans. This means it will either have to end ties with China or shut down the app in the US.
