Biden Admin Revokes Trump Orders on TikTok & WeChat, Orders Review on Risks of Foreign Apps
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The White House revoked three Trump administration executive orders that
sought to ban popular social apps Tik Tok and We Chat from operating in
the U.S. Biden issued a new order that would review possible security
risks for apps connected to foreign governments, in particular China.
This came one day after the Senate passed a $250 billion bill designed
to compete with technological, military and industrial advances out of
China.
