ByteDance, TikTok’s Chinese parent company, will have until January 19 to comply with the requested measures. Otherwise, the application will be banned in the United States in the initial month of 2025.
At a time of tension over the possible prohibition of TikTok in USAthe federal law that the application asks to paralyze, granted ByteDance nine months to find an investor of a country that is not considered an “adversary”, to sell its operations in the North American nation.
With a period of time until January 19the application would have to stop operating in the country if the measures imposed last Friday by three judges of the same court.
The deadline coincides with the last day of Joe Biden as a representative, so that later donald trumpthe president-elect, takes possession of the White House and review the case with the new Administration and eventually the Supreme Court.

The video platform and its Chinese parent company, ByteDancerequested the pause after the decision in favor of the law approved by the Congress in April, which forces TikTok to disassociate of ByteDance, or be banned in the United States in January 2025.
How the future of the application is defined
Specifically, it is requested that Joe Biden cannot apply the law, which he approved together with congressmen from the Democratic parties and Republican for fear that the Chinese Government will obtain information from users and manipulate them, until the Supreme Court reviews the case.
“There is no imminent threat for national security, since Congress itself delayed the date of entry into force of the law,” he announced TikTok in its brief to the Court, adding that “the law states that China could carry out harmful conduct through TikTok, not that it is doing so or will do so.”
On the other hand, donald trump tried ban the platform during his first term (2017-2021) and then announced during his electoral campaign, that if he were the winner of the elections, “would save TikTok in the United States“.
However, since he became the winner of the presidential elections last November, he did not comment again on the subject and the users they maintain the expectation that the application can continue working in the country.
