TIKTOK Sinking Ship

Tik Tok, is the newest addition to social media that has completely taken over as the lead in social networking. Tik Tok is a chinese owned video sharing service that children and adults use to post things such as dancing, lip syncing, DIY crafts and more! https://www.google.com/amp/s/influencermarketinghub.com/what-is-tiktok/amp/ The app although is loved by most, has caused much controversy due to the fact that there could be spyware in millions of American’s phones. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2020/07/25/beware-tiktok-really-is-spyiAlthough this is just speculation, we know that Facebook has caused an uproar in politicts due to data leakage, it’s just a matter of time until we have the same problem with an app owned by a country that was the root of a global pandemic. Coincidence? Maybe? Maybe not. Tik Tok is trying it’s hardest with it’s PR efforts to direct the conversation anywhere but towards their “spyware allegations” Although their efforts are prolonging the process of Tik Tok getting banned, I do not believe that they will work in the long run. There are just some things you can’t prevent with PR and our country’s privacy is something our gover doesn’t take lightly.
