President Trump Signs Executive Order To Ban TikTok In the U.S. In 44 Days

President Trump Signs Executive Order To Ban TikTok In the U.S. In 44 Days

It’s official – TikTok now has 44 days to find a new owner to continue operations in the United States.

President Trump signed an executive order on Thursday (August 6) to effectively ban the video app.

“TikTok automatically captures vast swaths of information from its users, including Internet and other network activity information such as location data and browsing and search histories,” the order states. “This data collection threatens to allow the Chinese Communist Party access to Americans’ personal and proprietary information — potentially allowing China to track the locations of Federal employees and contractors, build dossiers of personal information for blackmail, and conduct corporate espionage.”

Trump has previously threatened the ban, and TikTok executives have assured users that it will not be going anywhere.

Microsoft is in talks to acquire TikTok in order to continue operations in the United States.
