The United States’ current Biden administration, in April 2023, banned the online Chinese social media platform TikTok due to the growing tensions between the world’s only two superpowers, China and the United States.

TikTok has one year to sell the company to another organisation.

If it doesn’t, TikTok assets within the United States will be seized by Google, and Apple stores will have to immediately remove TikTok from the online app stores or face legal action.
