President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans to issue an executive order to delay the enforcement of a law banning TikTok in the U.S. TikTok was briefly taken offline due to the law, which requires the app to separate from its Chinese owner, ByteDance. Following Trump’s statement on Truth Social, web-hosting companies like Oracle and Akamai restored TikTok for millions of users. However, TikTok’s future remains uncertain as Apple and Google have yet to reinstate the app in their stores. Legal experts warn that the tech giants could face significant penalties if they assist TikTok before it complies with the law. Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton emphasized the potential liabilities, saying: “Any company that hosts, distributes, services, or otherwise facilitates communist-controlled TikTok could face billions of dollars of ruinous liability under the law.” The situation continues to evolve amid ongoing discussions between TikTok and the incoming administration.
