Donald Trump proposes US government acquire half of TikTok, which thanks him and restores service

^{Published on 2025-01-20 04:20:58 - MSN}

Incoming president promises to allow ongoing operations for 90 days just as made-in-China app started to go dark US president-elect Donald Trump appears to have proposed the government he will soon lead should acquire half of made-in-China social media service TikTok's stateside operations.

Donald Trump has proposed that the U.S. government should acquire a 50% stake in TikTok, suggesting this could be a way to address national security concerns while allowing the app to continue operating in the U.S. This proposal comes amidst ongoing discussions about the potential ban of TikTok due to its Chinese ownership by ByteDance, which has raised fears about data privacy and national security. In response to Trump's suggestion, TikTok thanked him and subsequently restored its service, which had experienced disruptions. Trump's idea involves the government taking a significant ownership share, potentially giving the U.S. more control over the platform's operations and data handling. This move could also serve as a compromise to avoid a complete ban, providing a solution that might satisfy both security concerns and the interests of TikTok's large user base in the U.S.
