TikTok
Tiktok is a Chinese short-video hosting service app owned by ByteDance Ltd. While a global social media app, there’s a Chinese version by the same owner called Douyin, which although similar to Tiktok, they both operate as separate services and is only available in China. With its rapid popularity and growth, Tiktok has come under pressure from various nations with tough regulations and measures enacted by different governments like the move by the United States, citing misinformation, among other political allegations, which has seen the app getting banned in government-issued devices, school wifi networks, among other measures intended on controlling it since it’s a foreign entity. Whether a total ban in a nation can be implemented, based on the present over-reliance to social media and mainly Tiktok, remains to be seen in near future.
