If you want to know who is the most successful application at sea in recent years, it must be Tiktok! According to data, in the first quarter of 2022, TikTok will have nearly 1.4 billion users worldwide, and it is expected to reach 1.8 billion by the end of 2022.This growth rate has made many social giants greedy.As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong.TikTok, which is developing at a high speed, has been targeted overseas! On December 23, the spending bill passed by the US Congress mentioned that TikTok was prohibited from being installed on government equipment.At present, the bill needs to be signed by President Joe Biden and become law.In fact, in addition to legislation prohibiting the installation of TikTok on government equipment, some universities in the United States have also begun to restrict access to TikTok by campus devices or campus networks.For example, the University of Oklahoma said in an e-mail that, in order to comply with Executive Order 2022-33, which came into effect immediately by the Governor, all university staff or students should not access TikTok applications or websites, including the wired and wireless networks of the university, on devices owned or operated by the university; Similar measures are being taken by 26 universities and colleges in the University of Georgia system.In this regard, Christopher Ray, a Republican and Democratic legislator and the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, explained that he was worried that the ownership structure of TikTok might make American user data vulnerable to attacks.Because not long ago, Tik Tok employees illegally accessed user data.According to Security Affairs, several employees interviewed the TikTok data of two journalists to investigate the leakage of company information to the media.Subsequently, ByteDance dismissed several employees, saying they violated the company's code of conduct.So far, TikTok spokesman said in a statement: "Congress has taken action to prohibit the use of TikTok on government equipment, which is a political gesture and will not help promote national security interests.", Since Trump, the former President of the United States, started the Sino US trade war in 2018, the United States has begun to impose sanctions on some outstanding Chinese enterprises under the pretext of endangering national security.Like the ByteDance TikTok, it has become a thorn in the eye of the United States.However, its influence is too great, so the United States will not directly ban it.Therefore, the United States intends to prohibit the use of TikTok by administrative order on the grounds of information security and national security concerns.According to Reuters, TikTok has proposed to put more of its business under review in the United States, such as an agreement with Oracle to store TikTok's user data in the United States, and the decision to introduce the United States Data Security Department (USDS) to supervise data protection and content audit.Even so, some government officials, including the US Department of Defense, the FBI and the CIA, still oppose reaching a security agreement
