US vs TikTok: The Next Legal Battle? | Commercial Awareness Compass #7

This potential TikTok ban in the United States raises serious questions beyond a simple block on a social media app. Politicians cite national security concerns, but does the real issue lie with data protection, marketing upheavals, or cross-border business risks? Influencers could scramble if key partnerships vanish overnight, and global brands might face uncertain contract terms. Will other governments adopt similar policies, or is this a unique scenario driven by US-China tensions? Businesses must decide whether to brace for an immediate shift or adjust only if the legal landscape changes for good.
