💨 Abstract

TikTok, a popular social media app used by 170 million Americans, plans to shut down U.S. operations on Sunday due to a federal ban. The app is accused of posing a national security risk by being beholden to the Chinese government, potentially being used to influence Americans, and having data collection practices that could be controlled by the Chinese government. TikTok denies these allegations and is appealing the ban.
