The clockis ticking for TikTok, as the popularvideo-sharing app faces a potentialban in the United States. PresidentJoe Biden has endorsed legislationthat could force China’s ByteDance todivest its ownership of TikTok or facethe consequences. The move comesamidst growing concerns in Washingtonabout protecting Americans’ data fromfalling into China’s hands.A BIPARTISAN EFFORTThe legislation, which passedunanimously through the US HouseEnergy and Commerce Committee, hasgarnered support from both sides of theaisle. Republican House Speaker MikeJohnson backs the bill, signaling itsimminent arrival for a full House vote.Biden’s endorsement, coupled withthe White House’s technical support indrafting the bill, underscores the gravityof the situation.NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERNSThe FBI and the Federal CommunicationsCommission have sounded the alarm,warning that ByteDance could shareuser data, including browsing history,location, and biometric identifiers,with China’s authoritarian government.While TikTok denies any such actions,the US government has yet to provideconcrete evidence of data sharing.DIVIDED PUBLIC OPINIONA recent poll by The Associated Pressand NORC Centre for Public AffairsResearch reveals a nation divided onthe issue of banning TikTok. While 31%of US adults favor a nationwide ban,35% oppose such action, and another31% remain neutral. Interestingly, thepoll suggests a generational divide, withyounger TikTok users less concernedabout data sharing with the Chinesegovernment compared to the overalladult population.As the debate rages on, the fate ofTikTok hangs in the balance.

Only time will tell, but one thing iscertain: the clock is ticking for TikTok inthe United States.28 Soul Brasil Magazine © • Issue 122 • Mar 15 / Apr 2024 • Year 21 • www.soulbrasil.com
