TikTok’s US future in limbo: Billionaire Frank McCourt’s Project Liberty proposes acquisition–Will ByteDance say ‘yes’?

TikTok is facing a potential ban in the United States due to national security concerns. Alarms have raised alarms over the app’s data privacy practices, fearing that user data collected by TikTok could be accessed by the Chinese government, given its parent company, ByteDance, is based in China. These concerns have prompted discussions about the app’s future, with options for a complete ban while on the other hand its sale to a US-based company to ensure greater control over American user data.
