Tiktok

The U.S. government has insisted that the TikTok ban must proceed in a court filing against a proposed motion that would stop the move.

A judge has told the Trump administration it must either postpone its U.S. ban on TikTok or respond to a court by Friday in defence of the move.

TikTok has asked a judge to prevent the Trump administration from banning the app in the U.S., the ban was recently delayed by a week after a deal was signed between Oracle and ByteDance.

TikTok has today proposed the formation of a coalition of social media and platforms seeking to protect users from harmful content such as suicide.

The Trump administration's ban on WeChat was set to go into effect today, but a U.S. district court judge just blocked it.

TikTok lobbyists have told the Trump campaign an all-out ban on the app could cost him millions of votes in November's presidential election, particularly in key battleground states.

The U.S. Department of Commerce will ban TikTok and WeChat from U.S app stores from Sunday.

After the Chinese government made a sale to a U.S. based company more difficult, TikTok's talks with the U.S. to avoid a ban have increased.

The TikTok acquisition is again facing obstacles, this time over its algorithm. It comes after changes to Chinese government rules over the export of technology and its sale to foreign buyers.

The Chinese government updated rules that could prevent the sale of TikTok to a U.S.-based company. The rules affect the sale of data processing and speech and text recognition technology.
