TikTok Ban Timeline

🗓️ TikTok was technically banned for approximately 12 hours on January 20th after a US law required ByteDance to divest the application.
⏳ President Trump signed an executive order on January 20th, initially passing the enforcement of the ban for 75 days, until April 5th.
⏰ A subsequent order on April 4th extended this delay by another 75 days, pushing the deadline to June 19, 2025.

Current Status and Future of TikTok

📍 TikTok remains available in the US, but its long-term access is contingent on ByteDance selling the company.
❓ The future availability depends on whether ByteDance divests or if the deadline is extended again.
