Trump to postpone 'TikTok ban' because of 'sweet spot' for social media-obsessed Gen Z
Briefly

Former President Trump has expressed support for TikTok, stating he has a "warm spot" for the app due to its popularity among young voters. He has vowed to extend the ban deadline imposed by recently enacted legislation until a sale to a U.S. owner occurs. TikTok briefly suspended its services when the ban was set to take effect, but was able to resume operations following Trump's intervention. The app has a substantial user base of 170 million in the U.S., and Trump has assured its protection during his tenure.
Trump stated he has a "warm spot" for TikTok, emphasizing that his efforts to connect with young voters contributed to a significant electoral advantage.
Following the signing of a TikTok ban law in April 2024, President Biden ensured that a sale to a U.S. owner was necessary to avoid the app being outlawed.
In response to a temporary outage, TikTok expressed regret over the U.S. law and highlighted their commitment to restoring services as soon as possible.
Trump assured that the app would be "protected" during his presidency and expressed a desire to see a deal allowing it to remain operational.
