Trump Signed Executive Order Forcing TikTok to be sold in 90 days
US President Donald Trump signed a new executive order requesting TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, to sell or to withdraw its U.S. business within 90 days.
Trump signed the executive order on the 14th and said that there was credible evidence showing ByteDance may take actions to imperil the national security of the U.S. The order required ByteDance to destroy all TikTok data attached to U.S. users after selling its U.S. business in 90 days, then to inform the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (#CFIUS) when it had destroyed all that data.
ByteDance did not respond to this order directly but stated that 100 million Americans loved TikTok because they can get opportunities for entertainment, self-expression, as well as social connections, and would continue to bring joy to the users.
