title: congress closer to tiktok ban or forced sale after CEO’s troubling testimony, Gallagher says
source: ABC News
Summary: The article summarizes the discussion made in the NEWS programme that the American government is extremely concerned about the possibility of their citizens' private information and U.S. data getting accessed in by their 'rival', namely China, through Tiktok, a popular social media platform. And so, a lawsuit was filed against the parent company of Tiktok, which is still on-going, in order to either ban it or force the parent company to sell over Tiktok to the American company. The likelihood of those two possibilities has increased after the testimony of the CEO of tiktok. Moreover, the article also tells the worrying situation of U.S. bases in Syria.
Reaction: It's terrifying to know that such possibility of getting private information accessed in through tiktok isn't far-fetched. However, it's also sad to see a famous app like Tiktok getting banned in the U.S if the court has come to that decision.
Questions: Is Tiktok safe enough for everyone to enjoy? Will China and America ever be on good terms?
Good post, Lily. Are you a TikTok user?
