JAKARTA - The fate of TikTok's business and operations in the United States (US) has begun to shed some light. After being adrift, now the US Department of Commerce has granted the preliminary injunction allowing TikTok to operate in the US.
The preliminary court order was issued after the US Department of Justice appealed a court ruling prohibiting them from blocking the short video platform TikTok.
Although not specifically stated, when the suspension of the TikTok block will be carried out. The US government had originally asked ByeDance (the parent company of TikTok) to hand over the TikTok business to a US company, on November 12.
This means that US citizens currently can still download and use the TikTok application freely. TikTok alone has around 100 million users in the US.
So far, the Trump administration has also approved Oracle's purchase of TikTok business in September 2020. And gave a 90 day deadline to finalize the US purchase of TikTok.
The reasons for the takeover of businesses by US companies were motivated by accusations of national security threats that the Trump administration often echoed. By forcing TikTok to be owned by a company from the US, its operations can be monitored and cannot be spied on by China.
