Donald Trump’s incoming national security adviser, Mike Waltz, says the incoming US president will put measures in place to keep TikTok from going dark, as a possible ban is looming. A law requiring TikTok’s Chinese owner ByteDance to either sell its US operation or face a ban is coming into effect on Sunday, unless the US Supreme Court overturns it. Meanwhile, many of the app’s 170 million US users have been flocking to another Chinese social media platform RedNote.
