TikTok Ban Delayed
This extension aims to provide time for negotiations and a potential U.S. investment in the platform through a joint venture.

The initial ban was based on national security concerns about the platform’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance. Despite the extension, The platform’s future in the United States remains unknown, as the law compels ByteDance to transfer ownership to a US firm. Potential purchasers, including Elon Musk, Oracle, and other tech investors, have indicated interest.
President Trump has suggested that the U.S. should own half of the platform, valuing the company at USD 1 trillion.

However, it’s unclear if this proposal will satisfy lawmakers concerned about foreign control of the platform. The Supreme Court has unanimously upheld the law mandating the forced sale of TikTok from ByteDance, emphasizing national security concerns.
As negotiations continue, TikTok’s ultimate fate in the U.S. remains in the hands of the Trump administration and ByteDance’s willingness to divest its ownership. Stay tuned for more updates.
