That 45-day window will allow Microsoft, which has been rumored to be interested in acquiring TikTok, to do so if it moves quickly.&nbsp;TikTok, like many apps, collects troves of data from millions of Americans, but because TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, falls under the jurisdiction of the Chinese Government, President Trump has deemed it a threat to national security.&nbsp;Should ByteDance reject an acquisition from Microsoft or another U.S. company, TikTok will be severely hampered in the U.S., putting its efficacy as a marketing tool for franchise brands and every other business at risk.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/354426?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=executive-order-will-ban-us-transactions-with-tiktok-2713670" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Read more at Entrepreneur.com</a>.
