US banning use of WeChat, TikTok for national security
Washington: The Commerce Department will roll out a ban of transactions in the U.S. using TikTok and WeChat starting Sunday.
The government previously said that using and downloading the app to communicate won't be a banned transaction, although messaging on the app could be directly or indirectly impaired by the ban, and people who use it for messaging won't be subject to penalties.
Some security experts have raised concerns that ByteDance Ltd., the Chinese company that owns TikTok, would maintain access to information on the 100 million TikTok users in the United States, creating a security risk.
