TikTok has narrowly avoided a permanent ban in the U.S. – for now. After a brief shutdown on January 19, 2025, its parent company, ByteDance, has been given another 75 days to sell its U.S. operations to comply with government orders. In the meantime, TikTok is back online in the U.S., but the app has been removed from the App Store and Google Play Store, so new users can’t join, and those who already deleted the app can’t get it back.
