President Trump Delays TikTok Ban with 75-Day Grace Period

Newly inaugurated President Donald Trump has initiated a 75-day suspension on enforcing a law that would have effectively banned TikTok, marking one of his first actions upon returning to office.

He issued an executive order to delay the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, initially set to activate on January 19, which would have stopped the distribution and updating of TikTok in the United States.

Previously, Congress overwhelmingly approved this legislation, and President Joe Biden signed it into law last year in response to concerns that the Chinese government might use TikTok for espionage on American citizens or subtly manipulate U.S. public opinion through data harvesting and content control.

As the enforcement deadline loomed, TikTok had to shut down operations in the United States, leading to widespread disappointment as users lost access to the app late Saturday. However, Trump committed to delaying this ban as one of his initial presidential acts, aiming to negotiate a resolution.

TikTok resumed service on Sunday, crediting President Trump’s intervention for the revival despite earlier indications from the Biden administration that it would not enforce the ban. Under Trump’s directive, the Attorney General must issue guidance on implementing the pause and assure service providers that they will not face penalties for continuing to host or update TikTok during this period.

This legal clarification is essential for companies like Apple and Google, which would otherwise have had to remove TikTok from their app stores and stop updates, facing significant fines for any breaches. Oracle, which manages TikTok’s U.S. servers, must also comply with the ban.

The 75-day pause allows the new administration enough time to develop a strategy that protects national security while maintaining a platform used by 170 million Americans. This effort aligns with the government’s broader objectives of balancing regulation with digital innovation and public demand.
