More than a third (35%) of registered voters want the use of TikTok banned in the U.S. “on

the grounds of privacy and security concerns,” the national survey, conducted May 17-18, reveals. Another third (33%) of voters want TikTok banned, unless “the application undergoes regular security reviews of its code base,” while one in six say it should be allowed only if the app’s Chinese owners sell their stakes in it. Just 16% think the use of TikTok in the U.S. should continue to be allowed without any conditions.
