The Supreme Court ruled that TikTok must be banned in the US starting January 19, 2025, unless it separates from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, citing national security concerns. However, the enforcement of the ban is uncertain, as President Biden will not implement it before leaving office, leaving the decision to President-elect Donald Trump, who is exploring options to 'preserve' the app.
TikTok will be banned in the U.S. starting on Jan. 19, 2025, unless the popular social media platform cuts ties with its China-based parent company, ByteDance, according to a new Supreme Court ruling. But there are some questions about whether the ban will actually be enforced.
With President Biden's term ending on Monday and Donald Trump returning to the White House, the deadline comes amid a change in power – and, potentially, philosophy. AP sources say Biden does not plan to immediately enforce the ban. Trump, who initially supported the TikTok ban, has recently said he would look into ways to keep it online."He’s a deal maker," Trump's pick for national security adviser, Florida Rep. Mike Waltz, said this week.
