In June 2020, India imposed a ban on TikTok and 58 other Chinese applications. Recently, the Canadian government has pointed to national security concerns as the reason for its latest action.
ByteDance has introduced new software that creates videos from text prompts, joining a wave of Chinese tech companies entering the rapidly growing text-to-video market, which is also being pursued by OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT.
Trump joined the Chinese-owned social media platform after his landmark hush money conviction and after Biden signed a bill that can ban TikTok, used by 170 million Americans. As president, Trump tried to unsuccessfully ban the app citing a threat to national security threat.
TikTok and its Chinese parent company ByteDance sued in U.S. federal court on Tuesday seeking to block a law signed by President Joe Biden that would force the divestiture of the short video app used by 170 million Americans or ban its use.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Thursday called on China to provide a level playing field for American businesses as he began a visit aimed at resolving a raft of contentious issues that could jeopardise the newly repaired relationship.
The US Senate passed legislation that would require Chinese owner ByteDance to divest TikTok's US operations within about nine months or face a ban.
It was in March when the legislation mandated that ByteDance (TikTok's parent company) divest its stake in the company within 180 days of the law's enactment. Missing this deadline would result in TikTok being removed from the app stores of Google and Apple.
The joint statement of the school boards alleged that the social media giants' products "negligently designed for compulsive use, have rewired the way children think, behave and learn".

The CEOs of five companies - Meta, X (formerly Twitter), Snap, TikTok and Discord were grilled for four hours on failing to protect minors from sexual abuse online. Republican Senator Lindsay Graham said these companies had "blood on their hands" as parents of affected children attended the hearing.
Meta will likely be a central focus of the hearing, as the California-based tech giant has been sued by dozens of states that say it knowingly and deliberately designed features on Instagram and Facebook that addict children to its platforms and failed to protect them from online predators.
According to the ruling, "Because children still developing impulse control are uniquely susceptible to harms arising out of compulsive use of social media platforms, defendants have 'created a youth mental health crisis' through the defective design of their platforms.”
