TikTok was temporarily saved from a US ban earlier this year, but a key deadline is coming up that could see the ban reinstated.According to a new report, President Trump’s plan to stop that from happening is a new company called “TikTok America.” New TikTok America company would have split ownership, but likely wouldn’t impact user experience Kaya Yurieff writes at : The beginning of that second paragraph is especially key.Although it sounds like Trump intends to announce his plan very soon, it’s unknown whether ByteDance and/or the Chinese government are actually on board or not.
If they are, then “TikTok America” could prove a lasting solution to the seemingly never-ending drama around TikTok and the US.Hopefully this change would come with zero impact to users, since presumably the same TikTok app would continue being available with the same algorithm.To comply with the law, however, it would just be primarily owned by US stakeholders.
