US President Donald Trump issues orders against TikTok and WeChat

US President Donald Trump has signed executive orders banning TikTok and WeChat, terming the favored Chinese apps a threat to the country’s national security and economy.

The ban comes into effect in 45 days, Trump said in two separate executive orders signed on Thursday.

India was the primary country to ban TikTok and WeChat, citing national security concerns. India has banned as many as 106 Chinese apps, a move welcomed by both the Trump administration and US lawmakers.

“The us must take aggressive action against the owners of TikTok to guard our national security,” Trump said in his executive order. In his next executive order he said the country must take “aggressive action” against WeChat to guard America’s national security.

In a communique to the Congress, Trump said the spread within the us of mobile applications developed and owned by companies in China continues to threaten the national security, policy , and economy of the country.

Trump noted that these risks have led other countries, including Australia and India, to start restricting or banning the utilization of TikTok and WeChat.

TikTok which has up to 80 million active monthly users in America – has exploded in popularity in recent years, mostly with people under 20.

TikTok, a video-sharing mobile application owned by the Chinese company ByteDance Ltd, automatically captures vast swaths of data from its users, Trump said.

This data collection threatens to permit the ruling Chinese Communist Party access to Americans’ personal and proprietary information – potentially allowing China to trace the locations of federal employees and contractors, build dossiers of private information for blackmail, and conduct corporate espionage, he alleged.
