TikTok Faces Potential Ban in the U.S. Within 30 Days
The global debate surrounding TikTok continues to heat up, with the popular Chinese-owned social media platform facing restrictions in several countries. Now, the U.S. is taking center stage in this ongoing controversy. In a recent federal court ruling, a significant step was taken to pave the way for TikTok’s potential ban. The company has just 30 days to comply with the demands or risk being blocked entirely. What does this mean for TikTok users in the U.S.? Let’s explore the latest developments.
The debates surrounding the Chinese social media platform TikTok continue.
Accused of collecting user data, TikTok has been a controversial topic in the U.S. for a long time and faced a lawsuit in March.
With the federal court’s ruling, the path for TikTok’s ban has been cleared.
The U.S. administration, alleging last year that TikTok made citizens’ user data accessible to the Chinese government, introduced a new bill. The bill, which passed Congress and was later signed by President Biden, requires TikTok to either be sold to a U.S.-based company or face a complete ban.
Joe Biden had set a deadline for January 19.
Biden gave TikTok until January 19, 2025, to sever its ties with the Chinese company ByteDance, stating that the connection must end. However, TikTok argued that this law violates the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which protects freedom of expression, and contradicts the U.S. policy of an 'open internet.' TikTok appealed for the law to be overturned in a federal appeals court, but the court rejected the appeal and supported the legislation proposing the platform's ban.
However, newly elected President Donald Trump, who stated during his election campaign that he would save TikTok, might reverse the decision in favor of banning the platform.
