TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, have urgently requested the US Supreme Court to block the government's ban on the social media platform. The ban is set to be enforced next month if the parent company fails to sell the app. A federal appeals court recently upheld the ban, dismissing TikTok's claims of free speech protections. The Supreme Court's decision or any potential actions by the incoming administration could impact the ban's implementation after January 20. President-elect Donald Trump has suggested reconsidering his stance on TikTok. The Supreme Court has been asked to decide by January 6.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump expressed his concerns about TikTok as a national security threat, comparing it to other social media platforms like Meta's Facebook. Lawmakers are considering a bill that would require TikTok's owner, ByteDance, to divest the app within six months. The U.S. House of Representatives will vote on the legislation this week. Trump also criticized Facebook, stating that a ban on TikTok would benefit the company. TikTok argues that the bill essentially amounts to a ban and raises concerns about infringements on free expression. It remains uncertain if China would approve a sale or if TikTok could be divested within the given timeframe.

Former President Donald Trump has expressed concern over the potential ban of TikTok in the US. He believes that eliminating the app could strengthen Facebook and its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg. Trump's comments come after TikTok users launched a campaign against a proposed bill that would ban the app or require its sale to a non-Chinese company. The White House supports the bill, which aligns with Trump's previous stance on TikTok. Trump has a history of feuding with Zuckerberg, calling him a "criminal" and accusing him of interfering in elections.

President Joe Biden will not enforce the TikTok ban set by Congress, leaving its fate to President-elect Donald Trump. While Congress mandated ByteDance to divest TikTok, the outgoing administration is deferring enforcement to Trump. Notably, incoming officials suggest TikTok might be preserved, indicating bipartisan efforts to extend deadlines and find American buyers. Despite previous attempts to ban it, Trump’s team now acknowledges TikTok’s significance for communication and influence, especially among younger voters.

US President Donald Trump expressed openness to Elon Musk, owner of social media platform X, potentially buying TikTok, the Chinese-owned app facing a US ban unless divested from ByteDance. Trump has paused enforcing the law against TikTok and suggested a 50-50 partnership between the US and ByteDance. Despite TikTok's brief shutdown and restoration in the US, app availability remains limited, as Apple and Google have yet to provide downloads or updates.

Why the last attempt to ban TikTok failed

The US Congress has passed a bill that could force TikTok to divest its US business or shut down, bringing a potential ban closer to reality. This is not the first time TikTok has faced such threats. In 2020, then-President Donald Trump attempted to ban the app over security concerns and Chinese ownership. However, TikTok denied sharing data with China and sued the US government. A federal judge granted an injunction, and when President Joe Biden took office, he rescinded Trump's executive order. Now, the tables have turned, with Biden indicating he would sign the latest ban bill if it passes in the Senate. TikTok has vowed to fight the ban once again.

The 2020 ban on TikTok by Trump could be reversed by Biden using a law that allows a 90-day extension for TikTok's sale, contingent on progress towards divestment. Trump could alternatively redirect his Justice Department to deprioritize enforcement or issue an executive order claiming national security benefits to retain TikTok. Another option is a Supreme Court stay on the government lawsuit, providing time for new legal arguments and avoiding legal complications.

President-elect Donald Trump requested the Supreme Court delay the TikTok ban until his administration addresses the issue politically. A law requiring TikTok to divest from its Chinese parent company by January 19 or face a ban is under scrutiny. While TikTok argues against this as a restriction on free speech, the government views it as essential for national security. Trump, although opposing a ban, prepares to resolve the issue after taking office.
