Trump Executive Order Will Hand TikTok Over to US Investors

President Trump has signed an executive order that will effectively force the Chinese company ByteDance to divest its US operations of the popular social media platform TikTok.

The order stipulates that ByteDance must sell its US operations to a US-based company within 90 days, citing national security concerns over the handling of user data by foreign entities.

This move comes after months of escalating tensions between the US and China, with the Trump administration accusing TikTok of being a threat to national security due to its Chinese ownership.

While some have raised concerns about the potential impact on free speech and privacy rights, others see the executive order as a necessary step to protect US interests.

US investors are now poised to take control of TikTok, with several major American tech companies reportedly interested in acquiring the platform.

It remains to be seen how this unprecedented move will affect TikTok’s user base and content moderation policies going forward.

Many users are also worried about the potential for TikTok to be censored or restricted under US ownership.

As the deadline for divestment approaches, the future of TikTok in the US hangs in the balance.

Regardless of the outcome, the executive order signals a growing trend of governments around the world taking a stricter stance on foreign tech companies.
