WASHINGTON: President Joe Biden on Wednesday revoked executive orders from his predecessor Donald Trump seeking to ban Chinese-owned mobile apps TikTok and WeChat over national security concerns, the White House said.

The new order calls for the Commerce Department and other federal agencies to develop guidelines"to protect sensitive personal data ... including personally identifiable information and genetic information" from misuse. Trump had given his blessing to a plan that would have given TikTok to US tech giant Oracle with investments from retail powerhouse Walmart, but that deal failed to win approval in Beijing.
