A recent TikTok ban in the U.S. led to its app's shutdown due to national security concerns over data misuse by Chinese parent ByteDance, although users still accessed its website. The ban, part of escalating U.S.-China tensions, highlighted fears of Chinese data access, which TikTok denies. President-elect Donald Trump plans to extend the ban's deadline to explore a solution ensuring U.S. control, marking a policy shift from his previous attempts to ban the app outright.
