TikTok Has Been Banned.
In the US Supreme Court Upholds Ban Over Security Concerns (Read More)
In a landmark decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has unanimously upheld a law mandating the divestiture of TikTok from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, citing national security concerns. The ruling requires ByteDance to sell its U.S. operations by January 19, 2025, or face a complete ban.
As a result, TikTok has become inaccessible to its 170 million American users. Upon attempting to access the app, users are met with a notification stating, No está disponible en este momento” (Not available at this time”).
The ban stems from bipartisan concerns over data privacy and potential espionage, with lawmakers asserting that ByteDance’s ties to the Chinese government pose a significant threat. Despite these concerns, TikTok has consistently denied any wrongdoing and has expressed disappointment over the decision.
In a statement, the company emphasized its commitment to safeguarding user data and maintaining transparency.
The future of TikTok in the U.S. now hinges on the incoming administration. President-elect Donald Trump has indicated a willingness to grant a 90-day extension to explore potential resolutions, including the possibility of an American company acquiring TikTok’s U.S. operations. However, no definitive plans have been announced.
This development has left millions of American users and content creators in limbo, uncertain about the platform’s future. Many have taken to other social media platforms to express their frustration and hope for a swift resolution.
