United States President Donald Trump has ordered to ban TikTok and WeChat from Sunday. The Commerce Department will roll out a ban of transactions in the U.S. using TikTok and WeChat.

The order Friday was put into place, according to Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, to “combat China’s malicious collection of American citizens’ personal data.” The government previously said that using and downloading the app to communicate won’t be a banned transaction, although messaging on the app “could be directly or indirectly impaired” by the ban, and people who use it for messaging won’t be subject to penalties.
