The White House launched an official TikTok account and posted a 27-second video featuring a voiceover from President Donald Trump. The account description read, "Welcome to the Golden Age of America." TikTok remains owned by Chinese company ByteDance and has an estimated 170 million US users. A 2024 law ordered TikTok to sell to non-Chinese buyers or be banned, and the administration has applied three 90-day implementation extensions. The House voted 352-65 for the sell-or-ban bill in March 2024. President Trump posted that his administration was working on a deal to save TikTok. Representative Barbara Lee urged broader data privacy protections rather than singling out one company.

TikTok, which remains owned by Chinese technology company ByteDance, is popular among young people, and has an estimated 170 million users in the US. Trump has so far delayed the implementation of a 2024 law that ordered TikTok to either to sell to non-Chinese buyers or be banned in the US, with three 90-day extensions. The US House of Representatives voted 352 to 65 in favour of the sell or ban bill in March 2024, with widespread support from both Republicans and Democrats.
Rather than target one company in a rushed and secretive process, Congress should pass comprehensive data privacy protections and do a better job of informing the public of the threats these companies may pose to national security, Lee had posted on the social media platform X.
