TikTok Ban in the US: Key Updates

1️⃣ Nationwide Ban: TikTok has been officially banned in the US since January 19, 2025, over concerns about data collection and influence by the Chinese government.

2️⃣ Why?: The US government passed the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, requiring TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, to sell its US operations. ByteDance refused.

3️⃣ A Long Fight:

  • 2020: President Trump proposed a ban, calling TikTok a security threat, but courts blocked it.
  • 2024: Congress passed the new law, signed by President Biden. The Supreme Court upheld it.

4️⃣ TikTok Shutdown: On January 19, 2025, TikTok suspended services in the US after refusing to comply with the divestment order.

5️⃣ Possible Extension: After President-elect Trump suggested a 90-day extension, TikTok restored services temporarily.
