Some believe the popular Chinese-owned video-sharing app poses a security risk.The Associated Pressplans to take action on a what he sees as a broad array of national security risks presented by software connected to the Chinese Communist Party, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Sunday.
“These Chinese software companies doing business in the United States, whether it’s TikTok or WeChat — there are countless more ... are feeding data directly to the Chinese Communist Party, their national security apparatus,” Pompeo said on FOX News Channel’s Sunday Morning Futures. “Could be their facial recognition patterns. It could be information about their residence, their phone numbers, their friends, who they’re connected to.
“We all agree there has to be a change...everybody agrees it can’t exist as it does," Mnuchin said Sunday on ABC News This Week with George Stephanopoulos. TikTok's catchy videos and ease of use has made it popular, and it says it has tens of millions of users in the U.S. and hundreds of millions globally. Its parent company, Bytedance Ltd., launched TikTok in 2017. It bought Musical.ly, a video service popular with teens in the U.S. and Europe, and combined the two. It has a similar service, Douyin, for users in China.

Holy shit! Tik-Tom is a spyware channel. Tell Bill Gates he goes to jail if MIcrosoft doesn’t bolt it down and do deep inspection for tunneling in payloads and through the app, as well as that greedy Indian idiot that runs the place.
I don’t want to see anybody lose out on income especially with COVID19. There has to be a better solution
You would think that going against a country utilizing concentration camps and forcing sterilizations on women would be an idea we all would get behind. Apparently not, because orange man bad. Who cares about genocide am I right?
Does anyone realize that all the people in this Tik Tok photo are Chinese? Listen, the Chinese people are great but the CCP is insidious and evil.
Ticked at Tulsa rally turnout
Thought realDonaldTrump Diaper Donnie was going to ban tik tok and 'reveal' 'his' health care plan this weekend? Or was he to busy having us pay for his weekend at his property?
Can he take 5 mins. to think of the sick, the dyeing and hurting Americans. That would be news.
Black Lives Matter Louisville is threatening small businesses with 'mafia tactics' that don't pay They demand 1.5% of net sales to approved NPOs, diversity training, diversity hires They vandalized a business that refused
GOOD Because Dems love them always with the enemy
Only national security risks is trump & his administration who is feeding Chinese Communist party,in what trump&his administration is doing to USA people,the suffering & people dying slow deaths from coronavirus&as USA leader & admin allows USA to fall apart.
👏👏👏👏👏
Funny..
Security threat. Canada🇨🇦 is a security threat. If Trumps plan on Tick Tock isn’t any better then his plan for COVID.Trumps plan is sleeping with the enemy. What kind of plan has he for US solders in Afghanistan with bounty on their heads.
Oh, did they put bounties on the heads of American soldiers?
You mean all software companies he is not vested in.....good luck with that...
It's okay. The Trump virus will kill the Chinese software. I'm sure!
Personally I'm curious as to how he is going to ban it exactly. You can remove it from the app stores, but you can download it from a 3rd party website. You can have ISPs ban the site, but people can use VPNs. China can do such things because they filter their entire internet
Trump is a fool, but in this case he's right. How can we the liberal, democratic and free world support a platform that is against gay and a free being Supporting a Chinese company is like supporting the Chinese regime. That ain't a help at all! And Hongkong prays for help.
I dey work
There ain't no bigger national security risk than still having realDonaldTrump as president of the United States. That is the biggest risk America has right now.
Before he starts getting all tough on China tech, he needs to present his case for doing so. I suspect it's more about personal vendetta's, than national security.
Trump is just mad that teenagers used TikTok to organize the scheme that made his ill-conceived (pun intended) Tulsa rally flop harder than his hair on a windy day.
Shouldn't COVID be your number one news story every single day?
Give me F break if TikTok was 100% pro trump he would be praising it
Our president is kind of stupid
Yet he has no problem with Russian interference in our elections
Banning TikTok? Is he also going to ban Twitter and Instagram? Give me a break.
Does that include the China Virus he talks about but does nothing? Is that why it's become the Trump Virus?
He’s going after Tok Tock because they embarrassed him That’s the only reason
Chinese people really are the worst. I’m sickened. Targeting an app meant for children? First you give us the virus that kills 150k Americans (thanks!) and now you are using a app meant for fun to hurt us? You make me sick!!!!
With Trump, TikTok is not a security risk, but an insecurity risk.
Only losers like Tic Tok
Trump doesn't want to 86 TikTok b/c of China. He wants to do so b/c he blames the TikTokers for sabotaging the turnout at his (COVID-spreading?) Tulsa Rally. Many people are saying, Trump felt more humiliated than that time he and Epstein threw a sex party and nobody came.
Just the saddest white dudes on the face of the earth.
Take tic tock down
