ByteDance, the Chinese company that owns the video-sharing application TickTock, has threatened to take legal action against the United States. The company has decided to close trade with all US companies within the next month and a half. BitDance, the proprietor of the mobile app, made the announcement after US President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning ticks. Top officials in the Trump administration recently claimed that the popular mobile application TickTock was a source of information smuggling to US citizens in China, a violation of citizens' privacy and a threat to US national security. President Trump signed an executive order banning the TickTock app in the United States, citing national security concerns. Tech giant Microsoft has shown interest in buying this app, which is equally popular in almost all countries of the world.
ByteDance has expressed surprise at Trump's sudden decision to ban ticking. The organization has announced to take all possible steps to protect the rule of law. "We will do everything we can to protect our business and our users," TickTock said. If the US administration does not uphold the rule of law, we will go to US courts. ”Meanwhile, the US has announced a ban on WeChat, a popular Chinese social networking site like TickTock. A spokesman for the Trump administration said after the executive order was signed: "TickTock and WeChat automatically collect information about the Internet and other networks from users' phones without the customer's knowledge. TickTock has 200 million subscribers in the United States alone and more than 100 million customers worldwide.
