Trump Delays TikTok Ban Enforcement for 75 Days
In a surprising move, President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to temporarily halt enforcement actions against TikTok in the U.S. The decision gives the popular video-sharing app a 75-day reprieve from a ban that was set to take effect earlier this year. The order directs government agencies to work on a solution that balances national security concerns with keeping TikTok available for its millions of American users. Specifically, the U.S. Attorney General has been instructed not to enforce the *Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act* (PAFACA) during this period. This law, which effectively banned TikTok, was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court and had bipartisan support during President Joe Biden’s administration. According to the executive order, no penalties or enforcement actions will be taken against TikTok or its parent company during the 75-day window. Even after the deadline, the Department of Justice is barred from taking immediate action, suggesting a potential shift in how the U.S. handles the app’s future. This development comes as TikTok continues to face scrutiny over its ties to China and data privacy concerns. While the delay offers a temporary lifeline, the broader debate over the app’s role in national security remains unresolved. For now, TikTok users can breathe a sigh of relief—at least for the next few months.
