In other recent news, President-elect Donald Trump has signaled a potential reconsideration of the TikTok Inc. ban, marking a shift from his previous stance during his presidency in 2020. Trump, speaking at a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, acknowledged TikTok’s influence on young voters and attributed Republican gains to the platform’s impact. During his earlier tenure, Trump had expressed concerns about national security risks due to TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, and signed an executive order for its sale or a potential ban in the United States. Although legal challenges delayed the ban, President Joe Biden eventually overturned it, while a bipartisan bill signed last year set a deadline for ByteDance to divest TikTok by January 19, 2025. The White House has expressed a preference for divestiture over an outright ban, emphasizing the importance of protecting American user data. Amid ongoing legal proceedings, a federal appeals court upheld the divestiture law, and ByteDance is seeking a temporary stay to appeal to the Supreme Court. This situation could place the final decision in Trump’s hands should he assume office, allowing him to define the terms of a divestiture. Trump’s viewpoint on TikTok shifted last year, seeing it as a viable alternative to Meta Inc.’s services, which he criticized after being banned from Facebook (NASDAQ:META).
