The ongoing debate over TikTok's future in the US intensifies as the deadline for potential divestiture approaches. With interest from various parties, including Amazon and a Trump-friendly venture capital firm, the Chinese company ByteDance asserts that selling the app is unfeasible for multiple reasons. The push to ban TikTok stems from former President Trump, who, citing national security risks, set the stage for what has become a bipartisan concern. As TikTok's user base approaches 170 million in the US, Congress has mandated divestiture underlined by legal support from the Supreme Court.
The future of TikTok in the US hangs in the balance as the April 5 deadline looms for divestiture or a sale to non-Chinese owners.
ByteDance has stated that divestiture is not feasible, citing commercial, technological, and legal hurdles, creating uncertainty for TikTok's 170 million US users.
