President-Elect Proposes Executive Order to Reassess TikTok Ban
January 19, 2025 - 20:09
The president-elect announced on Sunday plans to sign an executive order concerning TikTok, indicating a potential shift in the app's status in the United States. The proposed order aims to "extend the period of time before the law's prohibitions take effect," which could open the door for the popular social media platform to continue operating within the country.
This move comes amidst ongoing discussions about national security and data privacy concerns surrounding TikTok, which has faced scrutiny from lawmakers and regulators. The executive order could provide a temporary reprieve for the app, allowing time for further evaluation of its operations and data handling practices.
Supporters of the app argue that it offers a valuable platform for creativity and communication, while critics remain wary of its ties to foreign ownership and potential risks to user data. The president-elect's decision to revisit the TikTok issue reflects a broader trend of reassessing technology policies as the administration prepares to take office.
