Trump Promises To Save TikTok by Putting An End To Talk Of Ban
1 week ago
After a year filled with anxiety and a legal fight about its future in the U.S., TikTok may have just been thrown a lifeline by the man who was just elected to be the President of the United States Of America.
President Donald Trump repeatedly pledged during his campaign to oppose a ban on the short-form video app.
For months, TikTok, and its China-based parent company ByteDance, have been caught up in a legal battle with the U.S. over a federal law that was passed by congress, forcing ByteDance to sell the social media platform or face a ban in the U.S.
If the courts rules in favor of the ban, it would then fall on Trump’s Justice Department to enforce the statute.
