Ah, TikTok. The social media app so addictive it needs to forcibly insert videos onto your feed specifically designed to remind you to log off and touch grass every once in a while. However, TikTok's clutches on the attention spans of those across the US may be forcibly removed by the government this year, and users may have to start turning to the best VPNs in order to get their fix.
News of the TikTok ban came in March 2024, when then US President Joe Biden gave TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, nine months to sell TikTok to a US-approved buyer, or face a total ban across the whole of the United States. This ban is the result of concerns regarding the app's potential threat to national security, as well as questions surround the harvesting of user data.
