Donald Trump has said he will “most likely” give the Chinese-owned TikTok app a 90-day reprieve from a potential ban in the US after he takes office on Monday morning.
The incoming president said on Saturday, in an interview with NBC News, that he was considering the extension on a Sunday deadline laid down for the parent company of the wildly popular app to sell TikTok to a non-Chinese-buyer or face a ban under US law.
“I think that would be, certainly, an option that we look at. The 90-day extension is something that will be most likely done, because it’s appropriate. You know, it’s appropriate. We have to look at it carefully. It’s a very big situation,” Trump said in the phone interview.
“If I decide to do that, I’ll probably announce it on Monday,” he said.
It would be hilarious if Tiktok just voluntarily shut down anyway on schedule.
Ive seen reports that they will.
They say they will
They more or less have. I don't think they plan to resume services until they are given some sort of guarantee. If they are left in limbo for 90 days they will likely just be down for the entire time until they are told this law is repealed or something.
In the meantime all those western investors can eat shit.
