TikTok reportedly plans to challenge Trump's ban in court
Photo: Getty Images TikTok, the Chinese-owned social media video app that is used by 100 million Americans and is particularly popular with young people, has long been besieged by privacy concerns. Last week, President Trump threatened to ban its use in the U.S. A few days later, though, he reversed course, saying the app will not be blocked so long as a “very American” company purchases it by September 15. And then came the executive order, banning the app from the U.S.
Microsoft announced it was thinking of buying TikTok, and Trump called for a ban. Last week, The Wall Street Journal reported that Microsoft was in talks to acquire U.S. operations of TikTok, likely for billions of dollars.
Then, Trump said the deal could go forward, but only if the U.S. government got a cut. At a press briefing on Monday, Trump reversed his position, saying he’d now allow an American company to buy TikTok if the video app can find a U.S. buyer by September 15. If a buyer is not found before then, Trump said, TikTok will be disabled across the country. Trump added the stipulation that the acquisition would need to entail “substantial” cash flow to the U.S. Treasury.
TikTok spokesperson Josh Gartner said in a statement following the President’s comments, “TikTok is loved by 100 million Americans because it is home for entertainment, self-expression, and connection. TikTok will be here for many years to come.”
