Is TikTok Getting Banned On January 19th 2025 President-elect Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Friday to pause the potential TikTok ban from going into effect until his administration can pursue a “political resolution” to the issue.
The request came as TikTok and the Biden administration filed opposing briefs to the court. The company argued the court should strike down a law that could ban the platform by Jan 19.
Instead, he respectfully requests that the Court consider staying the Act’s deadline for divestment of January 19, 2025. Just weeks before Christmas, the Supreme Court of the United States agreed to hear an appeal filed by TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance. The oral arguments in that case are set to begin Jan. 10.
It’s unclear as to what stats Trump was referring to, as his highest-performing video on TikTok was the first one he posted, which received 179 million views.
This month, Trump also met with TikTok CEO Shou Chew at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida.
