The United States is considering a full-time ban on Chinese social media applications, including Tik Tok, said Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
Secretary of State recently said in an interview: “Regarding Chinese apps on people’s cell phones, I can assure you that the United States will do them right, Laura,” he said. “I don’t want to get out in front of the President [Donald Trump], but we’ll look at that.”
Washington’s top diplomat added that people should only download the app “if they want their private information in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party.” No specific comments from Tik Tok in this regard.
India previously blocked 59 apps developed by Chinese companies because of concerns that the apps were engaging in activities that threatened India’s “national security and defense,” the Indian government said.
