The us department of Justice says that TikTok is used by the Communist Chinese to spy on the user of the usa, thus making him a threat to national security. The company is the chinese states that there is no evidence, supposing that all the data is stored on the servers of the Oracle (many believe that the case of the employee, in China, it is still possible). Therefore, the new law would violate the First Amendment of the Constitution.
