A new development has emerged in the ongoing saga of TikTok’s future in the United States. According to recent announcements, the US holds plans to take control of the social media platform, and documents reveal potential involvement from media giant Rupert Murdoch, Dell founder and CEO Michael Dell, and software tycoon and Oracle head Larry Ellison. President Donald Trump, who has not been shy about his prior skepticism of TikTok, now reveals he’s become a fan of the platform, apparently after personal experience. This shift in sentiment followed his earlier statement about the progress made in trade discussions during a call with China’s Xi Jinping, where they also addressed the importance of negotiating the end of the Ukraine-Russia conflict. The proposed deal, however, is yet to finalize. Discussions surrounding TikTok have been present due to security concerns raised by American lawmakers, who pointed out the potential for the app’s algorithm to be manipulated by Chinese authorities. Despite the looming concerns and four previous delays from President Trump, this potential deal could determine TikTok’s future availability to US users, who currently remain uncertain.
