After meeting with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, US President Donald Trump has seemingly backed off his earlier threats to ban Chinese-owned video app TikTok

Microsoft has announced it will continue talks to acquire the US operations of popular video-sharing app TikTok, after meeting with President Donald Trump who seemingly backed off his earlier threats to ban the Chinese-owned platform.

TikTok denies it could be a tool for Chinese intelligence, with its US general manager Vanessa Pappas declaring Saturday: "We're not planning on going anywhere.""The United States would be the biggest loser if it banned TikTok," Daniel Castro, vice president of the think tank Information Technology & Innovation Foundation, said Saturday.

His threat has caused great concern for US TikTok users, particularly content creators who make money on the platform.
