Is TikTok Really Getting Banned Again?
Here are all the new dates to know after the White House said the President will extend the ban (again).
Remember in January when TikTok was actually successfully banned... albeit very briefly? Well, it never fully came back. The app has technically still been under a provisional return as the current administration tries moving ownership to American hands. Even if nobody was talking about it online, the new ban date is fast approaching, previously set to June 19.
However, late Tuesday, the White House revealed that the President is planning to delay the ban yet again. Read on for a breakdown of the news and what this means for you.
