Part 5/7:
In a related tech discourse, the United States Supreme Court indicated a potential ban on TikTok, a platform used by approximately 170 million Americans. The concerns stem primarily from the application’s ties to China and the associated risks to national security. Legislative actions taken earlier aimed at protecting American citizens’ data may compel TikTok to either sell its U.S. operations or face a full prohibition, with regulations set to take effect on January 19, 2024. While there is a possibility for the Supreme Court to temporarily block this legislation, indications suggest that this may not be the route taken.
