How to Export TikTok's Collections and Favorites Video

Recent, TikTok has faced increasing scrutiny from U.S. lawmakers and security agencies due to concerns over national security and data privacy. The primary apprehension centers on TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, a Chinese firm, and the potential for the Chinese government to access U.S. users’ data or influence content on the platform. These concerns have led to legislative actions aimed at banning the app unless ByteDance divests its U.S. operations. As of January 19, 2025, a law is set to take effect that could result in TikTok being banned in the United States if such a divestment does not occur.

If the ban proceeds, users may soon find themselves unable to access their TikTok accounts and the content they’ve curated over the years. The ban would penalize app stores and internet providers for making TikTok updates available, gradually rendering the app unusable. Source from: Economic Times
