How will the US TikTok ban affect me?
President Biden has just signed a law that says TikTok’s Chinese owner, ByteDance has nine months to sell the app or it will be blocked in the US.
We hear what TikTok users in the US think about the ban - and how it would affect them.
Liv McMahon from the BBC tech team explains why the US government has done this, how TikTok has responded - and why it won’t be easy to sell the app.
And the BBC’s Kerry Allen describes the origins of TikTok in China and the Chinese reaction to the ban.
