On Saturday, US President Donald Trump announced that China owned video sharing platform Tik Tok will be banned on all app stores in the United States, starting from Sunday.
According to a report in the Financial Times, existing users will still be able to use the application, but the lack of software updates will result in a decrease in the application’s user experience.
The ban was put in place after the Trump Administration’s heightening concerns of security breaches, with Trump stating the spread of chinese owned apps threatens US national security and foreign policy.
