US President Donald Trump and his rival candidate Joe Biden might be at odds on many fronts, but both of them seem to have found a common enemy in TikTok. Addressing his supporters in Minnesota on Saturday, Joe Biden acknowledged the alleged security threats surrounding the video-sharing app and said that he sees it as a “matter of genuine concern.”

“I think that it’s a matter of genuine concern that TikTok, a Chinese operation, has access to over 100 million young people particularly in the United States of America,” Biden said. He also vowed to review the security risks surrounding the app, if elected.

Meanwhile, Bytedance who owns the app, has approached a federal judge in Washington to stop the government from enacting the ban. The lawsuit accuses the government of violating the First Amendment free-speech rights.
