The US Commerce Department has said TikTok can continue to operate in the US for the time being.
TikTok users won’t need to use a VPN to access the video sharing service yet as the US Commerce Department has halted a ban on the app in the US. The ban was originally set to go into effect on November 12 of this year after the app was deemed a national security risk by the Trump administration. However, TikTok itself recently had to ask the US Court of Appeals for more information after it received “no substantive feedback” despite the looming deadline. Earlier this year, the US government announced that the app’s parent company ByteDance would be required to sell off its US assets due to national security concerns.
