ByteDance had to either sell the well-known short video app on national security grounds or risk being banned before a law went into effect on January 19, the app used by almost half of all Americans, went dark for a brief period last month.
Trump signed an executive order that sought to postpone the ban’s implementation by seventy-five days to allow TikTok to continue operating in the United States. Google and Apple kept TikTok off their U.S. platforms. The second most downloaded app in the United States is TikTok.
Analysts speculate that the delay may have occurred because Apple and Google were waiting for guarantees that they would not face legal action for hosting or distributing the app.
According to Trump’s directive, businesses that operate digital marketplaces or mobile application stores where users can browse, download, and update apps won’t be penalized for maintaining the TikTok app. The market research firm Sensor Tower reports that TikTok had over 52 million downloads in 2024
ByteDance is required to sell TikTok’s assets in America in response to national security concerns and worries that China might use the video-sharing app to spy on American users.
The law passed last year gives the U.S. government broad authority to ban or pursue the sale of other Chinese-owned apps.
