TikTok's Controversy: Dancing Down the Drain

Along with many people in the US, I am a user of the global sensational app, TikTok.  It is a way for people of all different backgrounds and communities to come together, as many social platforms are.  It is a home for hundreds of thousands of creators and provides jobs for many people in this time of need.  Recently, President Trump has stated that he wanted to ban TikTok in the United States because it is a Chinese-owned application.  Trump, along with many other government officials, claim that the app may be stealing our information ...What do you think of this?  It’s assumed that the Chinese Government would use this information to steal intellectual property from the United States (things that the United States has trademarks and copyrighted.).  Knowing this, do you think it is best for the app to be deleted?  Maybe by doing this, another app created in the United States that is similar to TikTok could be made.  As of yesterday, TikTok posted a tweet that said they are creating the “safest app” for global security.  Maybe now, the President will lift his incoming ban on the beloved app.
