President Trump has signed an executive order directing the Justice Department not to enforce the new "TikTok ban" law for 75 days. The law requires Chinese parent company ByteDance to sell the app. If it does not, any US company that enables the app to continue operating in the US could face penalties, including app store operators like Google and Apple. The future of the app in the US remains in limbo, with a sale or other deal potentially on the table.
