Summary
TikTok announced it is restoring U.S. service after Donald Trump pledged to issue an executive order delaying the app’s ban.
The law, upheld by the Supreme Court, mandates ByteDance, TikTok’s Chinese owner, sell to a U.S.-based buyer or face removal.
Trump’s decision allows TikTok a 90-day extension to explore options, although lawmakers like Speaker Mike Johnson insist the ban will be enforced unless ByteDance divests.
Security concerns over data privacy and potential Chinese influence remain central, while possible buyers, including Elon Musk, have been rumored but remain unconfirmed.
If the law is going to be enforced, why is tiktok up right now?
The law only pulls it off of the app stores. Technically connecting to the tiktok service isn’t banned. Tiktok themselves blocked the US. Then godking trump made a call and now they opened it back up. The ban is still currently in effect, as far as I can tell.
Wild how all it takes is the world’s orangest man to suckle on china’s teat.
Yup, here’s a search for TikTok on Google play.
