• TikTok lives in the US after a district judge's ban

If you follow the story of TikTok's potential ban in the United States, you'll know that the social media sensation will be banned from app stores on September 20, and then again on September 27, but as of today it's still available. The latest stay of enforcement stems from a ruling by a US district judge, says CNBC, accepting TikTok owner ByteDance's assertion that an outright ban would be detrimental to current users and any deal. future. by the application property. US companies Oracle and Walmart are currently in talks to participate in ownership of a new company called TikTok Global, which would manage TikTok's US operations. The US government is interested in the deal, but nothing has been signed yet. The idea is that with some of its ties to China severed and more data stored in the United States, national security concerns would ease and TikTok could continue to operate. However, there is still a lot of uncertainty about how this will all play out.

It's not finished yet

The latest move does nothing to change a more final and sweeping ban that will go into effect on November 12, which is essentially the deadline by which ByteDance, Oracle, and Walmart must come up with a solution. "We are pleased that the court has approved our legal arguments and issued an injunction preventing the implementation of the TikTok app ban," TikTok said in a press release. "We will continue to defend our rights for the benefit of our community and our employees." "At the same time, we will also maintain our ongoing dialogue with the government to turn our proposal, which the president gave preliminary approval last weekend, into an agreement." It's a saga that's already had plenty of twists and turns, and there's likely more to come. However, for now, US users can continue to download and enjoy TikTok on their phones, with the next calculation time scheduled for November.
