coronavirus. to now as i.e.s. threatens to add to the state's suffering. staying in the u.s. and tick tocks general manager for its u.s. market said the company is not planning on going anywhere that's out of president donald trump announced he plans to ban the chinese on video because of security concerns u.s. officials a currently looking into whether it's possible to talk could be used by chinese government as a tool for gathering intelligence. to talk with its viral dance routines and political activism videos is a favorite among teenagers worldwide but with more than $2000000000.00 in loads and $17000000000.00 in revenue last year the app is extremely successful and influential but it's exploding popularity has also raised red flags in the u.s. officials are investigating whether text talk is

a threat to national security there are concerns that the data collected by the app owned by the chinese for by dance could be accessed by beijing the company denies any connection with the chinese government but donald trump is threatening to ban the app in the u.s. . well look you know we may be betting that we may be doing some other things. but a lot of things after the show we'll see what happens but we are looking at a lot of alternatives with respect to. one of those alternatives is for bite to give up its ownership of the potential buyers are reportedly already in talks to take over including tech giant microsoft in the face of presidential threats take us assures that simple answers and audience that this is not the end. we've heard your outpouring of support and we want to say thank you we're not planning on going

some of its non china investors remaining investors and microsoft taking over which would seem to solve the security issues but that doesn't appear to be enough so it's unclear what the trumpet ministration once it's unclear what their main issue is if it's a national security issue with microsoft owning it's all that it's really puzzling to be honest and i've covered tech for 20 years i think there's up to 3 concerns that the one that's being voiced is the national concern security concern that data of americans could end up in chinese hands the 2 other things that are at play here that don't get talked about are the broader trade war with china certainly the u.s. and china are at a low when it comes to relations and there's a lot of threats going back and forth about companies and then the 3rd is donald trump at a rally in tulsa and a bunch of popular to talk users managed to get free tickets so that the trump campaign thought they had the rally sold out and in fact it was praying if you will
