TikTok Announces Shut Down of Separate TikTok Music App

In news that will impact… well, very few people in all honesty, TikTok has announced that it’s shutting down its separate “TikTok Music” streaming app, after various operational challenges and limited user interest. TikTok Music was initially launched in India in late 2019, under its original name “Resso”, which aligned with TikTok’s own meteoric rise in the nation.

And when the app was eventually banned by Indian authorities earlier this year, it was pretty much already on the outs as a viable alternative in the region. TikTok renamed Resso to “TikTok Music” last year (which may have led to its ban in I...

Ongoing Chinese Influence Operations Could Strengthen the Case for a TikTok Ban

While TikTok has over 150 million US users, who are increasingly spending more of their time in the app, its popularity could also be clouding concerns around its potential for harm, which is the key focus of the ongoing discussions around whether or not to ban the app. And while, for the most part, I would trust the advice of cybersecurity experts on this front, with various officials, from various nations, raising significant concerns about the app, I would also look to other cases where China-based groups have been seeking to infiltrate US-based networks, in order to gather information, seed propaganda, and manipulate opinion.
