TikTok's purveyors of creams and candies under threat from US ban
TikTok says its U.S. site generates billions for businesses selling candies, beauty products, clothes and other consumer goods. But now, that economy is under threat. The Supreme Court on Friday unanimously upheld the law banning TikTok in the United States on national security grounds ahead of a blackout this weekend.

For the record (this furnished by an AI called Perplexity)…
As of January 2025, six countries have fully banned TikTok: Afghanistan, India, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, and Somalia. The largest among them is India, which imposed a permanent ban in 2020 due to national security concerns following a border clash with China. Additionally, over 30 countries, including the United States, European Union nations, and Australia, have implemented partial bans or restrictions, primarily on government devices, citing data privacy and security concerns.
