TikTok is ill-fated to say the least and it shows as its name appears in news every now and then. This time, it involves Hong Kon. TikTok says it will quit offering its social video application in Hong Kong after the district received another public safety law conceding extended forces to the mainland Chinese government.

TikTok’s statement on the matter

A representative tells Axios that considering late occasions, they’ve chosen to stop activities of the TikTok application in Hong Kong.

Worldwide tech organizations working in Hong Kong have communicated worry that the new law could constrain them to follow China’s draconian control principles and potentially send client information to the territory. Google, Facebook, and Twitter have just quit preparing demands for client information from the Hong Kong government.

This was the very cause of most of the big tech companies’ ban from the US market. While the companies declined any association with the Chinese military, the risks were extremely high with collateral damage.

TikTok’s dilemma and US actions against the platform

TikTok is possessed by ByteDance, a significant Chinese web organization. Be that as it may, it has been making a careful effort to separate the Western application from its parent and Douyin, the Chinese form of the stage.

While TikTok has since a long time ago contended that it never shares information with the Chinese government, the new Hong Kong law would almost certainly have sabotaged the organization’s case on the off chance that it kept on working in the area.

TikTok keeps on confronting examination in the US and past. This evening, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo revealed to Fox that the public authority is “positively taking a gander at” restricting TikTok and different other Chinese web-based media applications. TikTok was likewise prohibited in India a week ago close by many other Chinese applications amid expanded strains between the nations.

How does the new Chinese security law affect TikTok?

After the passing of the law that gave Beijing full power to take action against those who dissent against the Chinese Communist Party, it has been extremely difficult to survive democratically in Hong Kong.

The civil society, independent press, and media (both social and news) are the ones subjected to the most oppression during this time. In this state of calamity, it is extremely difficult for TikTok to hold civil grounds of functionality when the government is trying to access direct control over the autonomous state.
