President Trump has signed an executive order extending TikTok's operation in the US for 75 days after a temporary shutdown due to a divest-or-ban law. While TikTok is accessible to current users, it remains absent from US app stores as the terms of the law mandate that its parent company, ByteDance, must divest its US assets by January 19. Legal experts question whether the executive order is sufficient to alleviate risks for major service providers like Apple and Alphabet, who may be hesitant to reinstate the app due to potential liability.
However, he added: "The heads of those companies may differ with their legal counsel and potentially even override them."
