Americans are less supportive of a possible TikTok ban than they were 18 months ago, according to a new survey ahead of a government deadline next year to force a sale or bar the app from US users. Do you use TikTok?

Just 32 per cent of US adults back a TikTok ban, according to survey data from Pew Research released Thursday. Pew found that 38 per cent of US adults supported a ban last fall and 50 per cent were in favor in March 2023. Do you support the TikTok ban?

The survey showed that many Americans have shifted their stance on TikTok in the past year and a half, including over the past five months since President Joe Biden signed a law that requires TikTok's Chinese-based parent company, ByteDance Ltd., to divest its ownership in the app or face a ban in the country. US lawmakers said they feared potential privacy and security issues related to TikTok's Chinese ownership. Half of Americans now doubt TikTok will be banned at all, calling it "very or somewhat unlikely." Do you think the ban will actually happen?
