President Donald Trump is banning the popular social media networking service TikTok. USA Today reported that this is due to "escalating tensions with Beijing" and the concern that the platform is tied to China. Trump reportedly told reporters aboard Air Force One, "As far as TikTok is concerned, we're banning them from the United States." This doesn't come as a surprise to most, as countries like India have already banned the social media platform but it is shocking that the US is thinking of doing so, considering how well the audience has responded since the application had initially debuted.

The news has disappointed many across other social media channels such as Instagram and Twitter, as there are many on TikTok that have made it quite big while amassing millions of followers and will be dearly missed.
