As the federal law banning TikTok took effect, the app was removed from U.S. app stores, leaving millions unable to access its services. TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, faces national security concerns but has resisted divestment demands. President-elect Trump plans to potentially grant a 90-day extension for TikTok's operations. Amid this uncertainty, TikTok is reportedly exploring merger proposals with Perplexity AI, while the government's concerns about data security and algorithm manipulation continue to loom.
