Congress has enacted a law that subjects a single, named speech platform to a permanent, nationwide ban, effectively silencing 170 million Americans on TikTok by January 19, 2025.
The demanded 'qualified divestiture' for TikTok to continue operating in the U.S. is not feasible commercially, technologically, or legally. It will inevitably lead to a shutdown, as divestment within the Act's timeline is impossible.
The concern extends beyond data gathering, focusing on TikTok's potential to spread pro-China narratives following Chinese influence activities in various countries. The app's Chinese ownership raises suspicions of CCP manipulation for similar efforts.
