During the year 2018-19, the craze of TikTok reels on social media had increased so much that everyone was seen making videos on TikTok. But during the dispute with China, in the year 2020, India had closed 59 apps, and the biggest name among them was TikTok. However, the Indian government came up with the Moj app in place of TikTok. Now, following the footsteps of India, America is also going to ban TikTok. Along with banning TikTok (TikTok Ban In America), America is also placing two conditions before its parent company ByteDance.

In this bill, two options have been presented to the parent company of TikTok. One is that it should sell TikTok to some company in America and the second is that it should be banned (TikTok Ban In America). Now it is up to ByteDance what it does next. Whatever he does, now he and China will suffer loss and America will benefit.

The US House of Representatives has passed a bill to ban TikTok in America. It is being said that this has increased the problem for the people of America. This TikTok is used by 170 million people of America. Critics have called it a threat to America's national security. Congressman Greg Murphy's office said in a statement that in 2020 India had banned 59 Chinese-made apps, including TikTok, emphasizing its priority to protect India's national security.

Here the House Republican said that this Chinese app (TikTok) attacks the personal data of its users. Which has always been China's goal. Therefore, America, European Union, Canada, India and many American states have taken steps to ban it. They say that TikTok officials expressed reluctance to ensure the transparency of this app and the privacy of users. After which it is now being closed. The White House said that if this bill is passed by the Senate, it will be shown to the President, only after his signature the process of banning this app will start.

Representatives in the US Parliament have proposed to ban this app. American representatives have said that the work which India did in 2020 itself, we are doing it now. At the same time, experts say that the purpose of this step of America is to weaken China economically. They will shut down this Chinese app by banning TikTok.

On this issue, America's National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said that we are happy to see this bill moving forward. We will turn to the Senate for swift action. This bill is important and we welcome this step. Efforts are underway to address the threat posed by some technology services operating in the US that pose a threat to Americans. We cannot put our people's personal information at risk because this is our broader national security.
