Timeline of the Ban

In April 2024, President Joe Biden signed legislation requiring ByteDance, TikTok's Chinese parent company, to sell its U.S. operations within nine months or face a nationwide ban. In December 2024, a federal appeals court upheld this law, leading to TikTok's temporary shutdown in the U.S. on January 18, 2025. Following this, President Donald Trump, upon taking office, issued an executive order on January 20, 2025, delaying the ban's enforcement by 75 days to explore potential solutions, including partial U.S. ownership. As of February 5, 2025, negotiations are ongoing, with ByteDance reportedly awaiting approval from the Chinese government for a potential sale.
