TIKTOK is available again to download in the United States, after former President Donald Trump gave a 75 -day extension of the law enforcement of the application prohibiting the application unless its Chinese owner, bytedance, sells his American operations.
The common video sharing platform, which includes more than 170 million American users, has disappeared for a short period of Apple and Google app stores last month as the deadline for the original ban was looming on the horizon. However, in the wake of Trump's executive order, the postponement of implementation until April 5, the application was re -given after the assurances were given that Apple and Google will not face responsibility for allowing downloads.
The legislation that was originally banned Tiktok was signed on a law by former President Joe Biden, with the support of the two parties in Congress. The US government has argued that a platform can be used by Beijing for spying and political manipulation – calling for both Tijok and the Chinese government to have denied repeatedly.
Despite his previous position in favor of the Tiktok ban, Trump seemed to change his position last year during the presidential race. It has expressed the “warm spot” of the application, with a highlight of billions of views that were attracted to the platform. When Tiktok resumed operations in the United States, users received a popup message grateful Trump for the name.
According to what Tiktok, CEO of Tiktok, met with Trump at Mar-Aao after his electoral victory in November, and later attended his inauguration.
Trump raised the idea of a joint ownership model, indicating that the buyer can take over Tiktok and “giving half of the United States” in exchange for a work permit.
Among the potential buyers associated with acquisitions are the co -founder of the Oracle Larry Ellison and billionaire Elon Musk, who also leads the Ministry of Government Efficiency Trump. Other names in this mix are billionaire Frank McCort, Canadian investor and the star of Sharek Kevin Olieri, and the largest YouTube creator, Jimmy Donaldson – known as Mrbeast – who claimed that investors approached him after expressing interest in obtaining the application.
With the deadline for the ban that has now been paid to early April, the coming weeks can set the future of Tiktok in the United States. Whether the sale is realized or a compromise is still not certain, but at the present time, American users can continue to pass, create and engage on the platform.
