TikTok banned from official US devices

The United States administration prohibits and blocks the use of TikTok on official devices

What happened? TikTok app banned and banned in the United States?

Just two days ago, on December 27, 2022, the US House Administration announced that The TikTok application is going to be banned from all official devices in the United States, that is to say, those assigned by or controlled by the United States government and related thereto.
For now the blockade has only been partial, it affects a total of 19 states but it is expected that in the future it will be completely blocked.

Already in 2020, Trump announced during his term that he was going to veto the TikTok app, although he was ultimately unable to carry it out. For these reasons, and because of the very difficult relations between the US and China, one could sense that in the end something had to happen, but of course no one expected it to be so drastic and sudden.
However, it is not clear whether this blockade will be able to be maintained at a legal level. or if it perhaps violates the laws of the United States itself and the imposed restriction will have to be removed.

According to US House Administration, the reasons why it has been banned TikTok are the big security risks of the famous app. Most likely they refer to the transfer of data that TikTok makes to the Chinese government, something that the US government does not take very well.

What's up with all the influencers and businesses?

We have to remember that this blockade only affects people related to the United States government, and does not affect anyone outside of it.

While it is true that today this blocking should not worry too many people, the fact that the Tiktok app has already been banned on official devices in the United States scares many, since there is the possibility that in In the future, the app will end up being blocked for the entire population of the country, leaving thousands of people who currently live off this social network sidelined and harmed.

It must be taken into account that today thousands of people make a living from this app, and there are many other businesses that depend and benefit greatly from the advertising they can do through this type of social networks, since in a way Free media allows them to reach many more people, eliminating geographical or economic limits that other more traditional media such as an advertisement on a billboard or a spot on television may have.
