TikTok is facing a ban in the U.S., affecting 170 million users and causing its removal from app stores. The app now displays a message citing the ban and hopes for a solution under President-elect Donald Trump. Although Trump first discussed banning TikTok in 2020, it was under President Joe Biden’s administration that the ban progressed. Trump has suggested granting TikTok a 90-day extension once he takes office, provided conditions are met, such as progress toward ByteDance selling the app. He has indicated this extension will likely be announced soon. Trump has expressed support for TikTok, recognizing its role in helping him win the youth vote in the 2024 election, and has a “warm spot” for the platform. The 90-day extension could allow time to find a resolution.
