CAs he had promised within hours of taking office for his second term, newly elected US President Donald Trump signed an executive special lead delaying the country's ban on TikTok by 75 days . This decision gives the Chinese parent company, ByteDance , more time to address national security concerns raised by the US government.
Specifically, the order instructs the attorney general not to enforce the law requiring the social media platform to close or sell its business in the United States, at least during this grace period, allowing the administration to evaluate the most appropriate course of action. Trump stated that this measure seeks to protect national security while avoiding the abrupt shutdown of a platform used by millions of Americans.
Despite this truce, the TikTok app is still unavailable in the Apple and Google stores in the United States . This means that those who already have the app installed will be able to continue using it, but no new users will be able to download the social network on their mobile devices.
