Sell the company or sex video banglaface a potential U.S. ban?
That’s the decision TikTok’s China-based parent company, ByteDance, may have to make.
TikTok may soon be put up for sale in the United States due to a possible order from President Donald Trump, according to a report from Bloombergthat cites "people familiar with the matter." The order would force ByteDance to divest from its popular viral video app.
When asked about making a decision on TikTok on Friday, Trump told the White House press pool a ban was on the table.
"We're looking at Tiktok. We may be banning TikTok. We may be doing some other things. There are a couple of options, but a lot of things are happening. So, we'll see what happens, but we are looking at a lot of alternatives with respect to Tiktok," said Trump.
In a subsequent Friday statement made to the press pool aboard Air Force One on Friday, Trump seemed to suggest that he plans to go the ban route. "As far as TikTok is concerned we’re banning them from the United States," he said (h/t NBC News), claiming he has "the authority" to do so through either an executive order or designation.
Fox Business Network Senior Correspondent Charles Gasparino is also reportingthat sources claim Microsoft is interested in acquiring TikTok. A subsequent report from Reuters on Saturday morning suggested that ByteDance is willing to give up its stake in TikTok's U.S. business in any theoretical deal with Microsoft.
Keep in mind, Reuters, Bloomberg, and Fox Business offered only unnamed sources, so take all of these possibilities with a grain of salt.

If the order did come to pass, it would be reminiscent of what happenedto the LGBTQ dating app, Grindr, last year. As The Vergepoints out, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States forced the app’s Chinese owners, Beijing Kunlun Tech Co Ltd., to sever ties with Grindr. The agency reviews foreign investments in U.S. companies. Its recent focus appears to be on how foreign governments can access U.S. users’ data.
The Trump administration has focused on potential privacy issues with TikTok in recent weeks. The President’s 2020 reelection campaign has even run social media ads criticizingGeneration Z’s favorite social media app over claims of spyingon users’ mobile clipboard. (TikTok users trolled Trump hard, registering for a Tulsa rally in June so it looked like attendance would be high. Attendance at the rally was much, much lower than expected.)
In early July, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo went on Fox Newsand explicitly stated that the administration was looking into banning TikTok from the U.S. over its ties to China. In May, TikTok named Kevin Mayer, the former head of Disney streaming as TikTok's CEO. As many news outlets have noted, hiring an American CEO could've been a strategy to curry favor with U.S. politicians.
Back in 2018, ByteDance brought TikTok, the global version of its popular Chinese app Douyin, to market. It entered the U.S. by rebranding Musical.ly, a similar U.S. based app it purchasedfor $1 billion in 2017.
Earlier this year, TikTok broke mobile download recordsand became one of the most popular global smartphone apps of all time.
