CNET·3M·FAQ
President Trump extended the TikTok sale deadline by 90 days to give ByteDance more time to find a qualified U.S. buyer amid declining public support for a ban and ongoing negotiations following the Supreme Court's upholding of the relevant law.
TikTok is under a de jure nationwide ban in the U.S. since January 19, 2025, due to national security concerns related to potential data collection by the Chinese government, but the ban has not yet been enforced because ByteDance has not completed a divestment to a U.S. buyer and the deadline has been extended.
Public support for banning TikTok in the U.S. has decreased significantly, which has influenced decisions such as President Trump’s extension of the sale deadline, reflecting less pressure for an immediate enforcement of the ban.
The Supreme Court upheld the law that set the TikTok ban deadline just before the original deadline, which allowed more time for negotiations and contributed to the decision to extend the sale deadline.
TikTok remains popular with approximately 170 million U.S. users because it is essential for marketing to younger audiences, and its widespread user base continues despite scrutiny over its ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
