Among other things, the American future of TikTok was discussed in that Bloomberg in an interview conducted by the former US President Donald Trump, who became the target of an assassination attempt at the weekend, talked about the measures and plans following his potential election.
Although a proposal and then a law on the effective prosecution of the service owned by the Chinese ByteDance was first passed this spring based on a bipartisan agreement, it is now possible that, contrary to its provisions, TikTok may still remain in the United States – even in an unchanged form.

The Republican presidential candidate said in an interview published on Tuesday that he stands by TikTok because market competition is needed, and without the service used by 170 million Americans, Americans only have Instagram and Facebook in one hand, according to Trump. Who, by the way, has his own social media service, which was launched under the name Truth Social in February 2022.
Although during Trump’s presidency, in 2020, he issued several more presidential decrees that also aimed to disable TikTok, some of them were either destroyed by the court or revoked by his successor, Joe Biden. At the same time, after the ban following the siege of the Capitol, Trump was particularly angry with Meta, threatening its founder and owner, Mark Zuckerberg, with prison if elected.
Presumably, this also actively contributes to the fact that the ex-president seems much more permissive towards TikTok now than four or five years ago, but the question is whether the legal process born in April, which requires the separation of TikTok’s American operation from the parent company, is threatened with a ban otherwise. , can it be stopped or reversed in time.
ByteDance challenged the implementation of the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act in court, and the first hearing in the case will take place two months before the US presidential elections, in September.
