Trump signs executive order to delay TikTok ban

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order postponing the ban on the popular TikTok app for 75 days. This decision opens up new opportunities to resolve contradictions between the US administration and the company that owns the app.

What does the decree provide for?

According to the document:

• The US Department of Justice temporarily refrains from enforcing laws against TikTok.
• Apple, Google, Oracle, and other companies that cooperate with TikTok will receive official letters. They will state that their actions during this period do not violate the law, and they will not be legally liable.

The decree, which was supposed to come into effect on January 19, gives additional time to make a final decision on TikTok.

Context of the conflict

TikTok has long been at the center of disputes between the United States and China. The Trump administration has repeatedly expressed concerns about the Chinese government’s possible access to the personal data of American users. This has led to fierce discussions on data protection and national security.

Possible consequences

Postponing the ban for 75 days gives the parties time to:

• Negotiate between the US government and ByteDance, the owner of TikTok.
• Possible compromise that will allow TikTok to remain available to American users.

Analysts note that the situation also affects large corporations such as Apple, Alphabet (Google), and Oracle. They are closely monitoring the development of events, as cooperation with TikTok may affect their activities.

What’s next?

It is not yet known what decision will be made after the 75-day period expires. Experts believe that a compromise is possible, but it will depend on the willingness of both sides to cooperate.

This situation not only emphasizes the importance of data protection in the digital age, but also demonstrates how technology companies find themselves at the center of global political conflicts.
