TikTok may be banned in the US by the end of next week

BY Connect Newsroom, Jan 14, 2025 7:01 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

If the ban is implemented, TikTok will be removed from the App Store in the US.

A ban on TikTok in the US may take effect by the end of next week. President Biden signed a law in April of last year due to privacy concerns and gave TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, until January 19 to either sell its stake in its US business or face a ban.

If the ban is implemented, TikTok will be removed from the App Store in the US.

This would affect approximately 170 million US users. While people may still have the app on their phones, without updates, it will degrade over time, and the company may block users from accessing the app before that happens.
