TikTok strikes back. The Chinese application confirmed, Monday, August 24, that it would file a complaint against the US government. An approach that responds to the decree of Donald Trump, who accuses him of spying on behalf of Beijing and wants to prohibit any transaction of TikTok with American partners shortly. 

"We totally disagree with the administration's position that TikTok is a threat to national security," the company justifies in a blog post. 

"With this executive order threatening to ban our US operations - in the process wiping out the creation of 10,000 US jobs and irreparably harming the millions of Americans who turn to this app for entertainment and a particularly vital livelihood during the pandemic - we just don't have a choice, ”TikTok adds.
