Is TikTok closing in the United States?

TikTok has been banned in the United States as of January 19, 2025, following the entry into force of a law requiring ByteDance to sell the application or cease operations in the country.

This measure responds to concerns about national security and data access by the Chinese government. Consequently, the platform has been removed from app stores and can no longer receive updates in the US.

Also, European Union has taken preventative measures, such as banning the app on official devices in some countries. For example:

• The European Commission restricted its use on government devices.

• France and Belgium banned TikTok on officials' phones.

• Denmark implemented restrictions on state agencies.
