TikTok users across the United States of America have once again been put on red alert as rumors of a US-wide ban of the application spread like wildfire. United States Attorney General, Merrick Garland, called a news conference to address “national security issues” on October 24, along with top Justice Department officials. The US is chasing a “non-state actor” for malign influence schemes and alleged criminal activity. The situation was further escalated on November 1 when FCC commissioner Brendan Carr ramped up calls for the app to be banned.

He tweeted: “Hearing chatter that the US will ban TikTok today. Chatter that Huawei will be banned today followed by TikTok.” Thousands of users interacted with the tweet since it was first posted, as many wondered if the end was nigh for the application. In July, commissioner Carr called for tech giants Apple and Google to take down TikTok from their app stores, stating it “presents a serious national security threat.” This followed a Buzzfeed report that suggested the Chinese government was able to access private data from US consumers using the application. The conference was streamed globally, with networks USA Today, Reuters, FOX, Washington Post, CNN, and other major news outlets covering the story.

Reuters reported: “U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and top law enforcement officials will announce U.S. action targeting ‘malign influence schemes and alleged criminal activity’ by a ‘nation-state actor.'” Since the presser was announced, NBC’s Ken Dilanian reports: “The 1:30 presser by AG Garland and FBI Director Wray is expected to detail some Chinese espionage cases, including against a pair of alleged intelligence agents who tried to gather inside info on the prosecution of Huawei. Nothing earth shattering.”

Now in November, Carr once urged for the government (specifically the Council on Foreign Investment in the US) to seek out an all-out ban on the app. “I don’t believe there is a path forward for anything other than a ban,” he claimed.

His motivation stems over fear of American data being accessed by the Chinese Communist Party, and that there is no “sufficient” way to block their access to the information that the app collects.

Is TikTok getting banned in USA?

During the livestream, one official said: “We also see a coordinated effort across the Chinese government to lie, cheat, and steal their way into unfairly dominating entire technology sectors, putting competing US companies out of business. “Their economic assault and the violations of their rights are part of the same problem. They both flout the rule of law.” Despite concerns about the alleged attempted obstruction of US independent judicial processes to help Chinese businesses using a non-state actor, there is still nothing to suggest TikTok would be subjected to a ban at the time of writing.
