TikTok could have one or a few new owners, be banned again, or simply receive another reprieve to continue operating in the United States. Questions about the fate of the popular video sharing app have continued to linger since a law requiring its China-based parent company to divest or face a ban took effect on Jan.

With an April 5 deadline looming, TikTok could be sold, banned again, or given another extension. Here’s what’s at stake.

After taking office, President Donald Trump gave TikTok a 75-day reprieve by signing an executive order that delayed enforcement of the statute until April 5. However, no action has been taken by TikTok yet to reverse the ban.

TikTok has until April 5 to find a buyer, and President Donald Trump says that at least four are currently in the mix. The short-from video platform may need to find new ownership since the U.S. passed its sell-or-ban law last year due to security concerns.

A US law is forcing TikTok's Chinese-owned parent company ByteDance to divest from the platform or face a ban. View on euronews
