US Government Demands TikTok Chinese Owners Sell Shares or Face Ban

On Wednesday, it was reported that the US government is demanding that TikTok’s Chinese owners sell their shares or face a potential ban on the app in America.

The Biden administration is taking dramatic steps to potentially block the video-sharing app in the US amid fears of its user data being shared with the Chinese government.

This is the first time under the administration that a ban has been threatened.

In 2020, Donald Trump attempted to ban TikTok, which is owned by Beijing-based ByteDance, but was impeded by US courts.

China responded to the White House’s demands by accusing the US of a lack of evidence that TikTok threatened its national security.

Wang Wenbin of the Chinese foreign ministry said that the US should stop spreading disinformation about data security and provide an open, fair, and non-discriminatory environment for foreign businesses to invest and operate in the US.

TikTok, which has over 100 million US users, has already been affected by the White House’s actions after it ordered government agencies to delete the app on federal devices and systems.

More than 30 states followed suit by preventing staff from using the social media platform on government-owned devices.

China denounced the US over its TikTok bans, saying it has been “abusing state power”.

There are suggestions of a nationwide ban, as Republicans and Democrats joined forces late last year to unveil bipartisan legislation that would enforce such an option.

In his studies, energy efficiency expert Dr. David Glew has observed numerous instances of people leaving the central heating on in their vacant homes to keep their pets warm. He cautions that having the heating on for a dog might increase the annual gas bill in a big family house by £240. Dr. Glew estimates that leaving the lights on for a pet in a few rooms for six hours a day may cost £50 a year with contemporary spotlights or £12 a year with LED lightbulbs. While leaving a fan on would only cost £5, leaving the air conditioning on throughout the entire house may cost hundreds more per year. The majority of healthy pets have enough fur to keep them warm, according to veterinarians, so turning on the heat or air conditioning is typically unnecessary. This month at the Cheltenham Science Festival, Dr. Glew, director of energy efficiency and policy at Leeds Beckett University, brought up the subject in a discussion. There is no need to leave the heater on for pets, he said, but if owners feel they must, they might think about solely heating the room the dog enjoys or lowering the thermostat or radiator dial. According to Energy Saving Trust research from 2015, 43% of pet owners leave the heat on for their animals.To keep the heating and lights on for their dog in the winter, dog owners may be spending close to £300 annually.
