Biden Revokes Trump Order Banning Tiktok
https://www.tubefilter.comPresident Joe Biden has revoked a series of executive orders signed by his predecessor that called for the ban of Chinese-owned social media apps, including TikTok and WeChat, in the U.S.
At the same time as he reversed the orders targeting specific companies, Biden signed a new order reiterating scrutiny over apps that hail from foreign adversaries and operate in the U.S.. Per CNN, the new order states that the Commerce Department will develop criteria for assessing potential national security risks, including the collection of personal data and genetic data. (Notably, TikTok just included the collection of biometric data, including faceprints and voiceprints, to its U.S. privacy policy).
