TikTok‘s Uncertain Future Amid Political Turmoil
政治动荡中抖音国际版（TikTok）前途未卜
TikTok has received another last – minute reprieve. President Trump is likely to extend the deadline for ByteDance to sell the app for the third time. Trump initially wanted to ban TikTok but changed his stance during the 2024 election, seeing it as a counter to Meta’s dominance. Congress passed a law in 2024 to ban TikTok, requiring ByteDance to divest. The Trump administration has assured cloud and app store companies they won’t be fined during the extension. TikTok fought the ban in the Supreme Court but lost. The app is seen as a national security threat by the US government, though no evidence has been shown.
抖音国际版（TikTok）再次获得了最后一刻的缓刑。特朗普总统很可能会第三次延长字节跳动出售该应用的最后期限。特朗普最初想禁止抖音国际版，但在 2024 年大选期间改变了立场，将其视为对抗元（Meta）公司社交媒体主导地位的手段。2024 年，美国国会通过了禁止TikTok的法律，要求字节跳动剥离该社交网络。特朗普政府已向云服务提供商和应用商店公司保证，在延期期间他们不会被罚款。TikTok曾就禁令向最高法院提起诉讼，但败诉。美国政府认为该应用存在国家安全威胁，但未出示证据。
