“We’re glad TikTok is back, but we’re still cautious about our privacy,” said Sarah Johnson, a TikTok user from California.
On the other hand, analysts view this decision as a pragmatic move by the US government. “A complete ban on TikTok would have caused many problems, including backlash from millions of users and potential economic losses. This postponement is a temporary solution that allows for further dialogue,” said Michael Smith, a technology analyst in Washington.
The Future of TikTok in the US
With the ban postponed until 2025, TikTok has the opportunity to prove that it can meet the security standards set by the US government. ByteDance is also expected to continue collaborating with US authorities to ensure transparency and data security.
Meanwhile, TikTok users in the US can once again enjoy their favorite content without worrying about the app disappearing from their devices in the near future. However, TikTok’s future in the US still depends on the outcome of negotiations between ByteDance and the US government in the coming years.
