What’s next for TIKTOK?

The TikTok Ban faces strong opposition from Americans, as millions rely on the platform for everyday functions, not just professionally but also for personal enjoyment. Despite its popularity, the legislators of both partied had pushed forward to make the ban on TikTok's US operations a reality, now folded into a broader Foreign Aid bill expected to clear the House this afternoon and head to the Senate, then ultimately to President Biden's desk. Should the ban materialize, TikTok will have approximately a year, an extension from the original standalone bill's timeline of around five months, to divest its US operations. Legal recourse remains an option, potentially prolonging the process through appeals, with uncertainty lingering on whether it might escalate to the Supreme Court. Amidst this, a new administration could take office, adding another layer of complexity or it can still be Biden, but regardless both parties are on the same bed when it comes to the Tiktok ban. Ultimately, bipartisan collaboration has led to a scenario where TikTok's future in the US hangs in the balance, regardless of individuals' political affiliations or reliance on the platform, it seems the voters voice was permanently silenced by both Democrats and Republicans.
