How US TikTok ban could affect users in the UK as it's set to happen on Sunday
- TikTok is now temporarily unavailable in the U.S. Due to the government-mandated sell-off bill, which goes into effect at midnight tonight. This means TikTok must either be sold to an American company or shut down in the U.S. As of tomorrow.
- President-Elect Donald Trump is reportedly considering an executive order to pause the ban for 60 to 90 days to negotiate a sale of TikTok or an alternative. This marks a significant shift from his previous stance against the app in 2020.
- Senator Ed Markey plans to introduce the Extend the TikTok Deadline Act, giving ByteDance an additional 270 days to find a buyer, amid uncertainty about the app's future and its algorithm's inclusion in a potential sale.
- Despite the ban, TikTok is expected to return to U.S. Users shortly, as Trump's potential reprieve may allow for negotiations, indicating a possible resolution to the ongoing dispute.
