Originally, the compliance deadline was set for January 19, 2025. Since then, Trump has repeatedly extended the timeline to allow negotiations between ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, and potential U.S. investors. Reports suggest that a consortium led by Oracle and Silver Lake is preparing to take an 80% stake in TikTok’s U.S. operations. However, critical concerns remain over whether ByteDance will continue to influence TikTok’s core algorithm and data handling, issues that lie at the heart of U.S. national security concerns.
This latest executive order highlights Trump’s strategy to keep TikTok accessible for millions of American users while ensuring a framework for U.S. ownership. Still, the clock is ticking—if a deal is not finalized by December, enforcement measures could resume, putting TikTok’s future in jeopardy once again.
