TikTok 2.0? ByteDance Reportedly Working on a U.S.-Only App


With a TikTok ban still looming, ByteDance is reportedly working on a U.S.-only version of the app as Trump continues talks with China.

This initiative is intended to comply with U.S. legislation mandating that the Chinese-owned company divest its American TikTok operations or face a nationwide ban. This comes as Trump announced on Friday that he will begin discussions with China on Monday or Tuesday regarding a potential deal, stating that the U.S. “pretty much” has an agreement in place for the app’s sale. Public opinion remains divided: a Pew survey shows only one-third of Americans support a ban, down from 50% in 2023, with data security being the top concern.
