A Draft Of TikTok’s Plan To Avoid A Ban Gives The U.S. Government Unprecedented Oversight Power

The U.S. government demands unprecedented control over TikTok. The platform and government regulators have allegedly been negotiating a deal for over four years to allow TikTok to continue operating in the U.S., Forbes reported on Monday. A draft agreement from 2022 would have allowed the government to examine TikTok facilities with minimal notice and block changes to the app’s U.S. terms of service, though given the radio silence on negotiations since March, it’s unclear what happened with that potential agreement.
