Trump Delays TikTok Ban for 75 Days, Affects 170 Million Users
Jan 21, 2025, 02:06 AM
President Donald Trump has signed an executive order delaying the enforcement of a ban on TikTok in the United States for 75 days. The order was issued to allow time for the administration to assess the national security implications of the app and to explore potential resolutions. The ban, which was set to take effect on January 19, was upheld by the Supreme Court. TikTok, owned by ByteDance and used by 170 million Americans, had briefly gone offline over the weekend due to the impending ban but was restored after Trump's assurance. The executive order also directs the Attorney General not to enforce the law during this period and to inform companies like Apple, Google, and Oracle, which work with TikTok, that they will not face liability for continuing to support the app.
