美国威胁将禁用TikTok  

TikTok made political scapegoat
A threat by the US government to ban the Chinese app TikTok in the US has stoked concern among some users and observers that such a move on the short-form video platform is politically motivated.
Citing threats to national security
the Trump administration signaled that it was considering banning TikTok
owned by Byte-Dance of Beijing
in the US.
特朗普政府近日暗示，出于对国家安全的考虑，正考虑在美禁用北京字节跳动公司旗下的TikTok应用。
"Washington DC right now is looking for reasons to show how 'tough' it can be on China
and Tik-Tok is a convenient target precisely because it is wildly popular
" said Steven Weber
associate dean of the School of Information at the University of California
Berkeley.
Weber said some of the generalized frustration with and anger at social media panies
particularly Facebook
for security
is being directed at TikTok. However
these debates have bee politicized
and the key issue is worsening US-China relations
he said.
"My view is that the issue here isn't really about TikTok; it's about the overall deterioration in Sino-American relations. This week the villain is TikTok
last month it was Zoom
and before that Huawei
" Weber said.
