"We aren't going anywhere."

"The Supreme Court is unlikely to strike down the law."

"[W]e have no intention to ban TikTok."

“This legislation is a clear violation of the first amendment rights of the 170 million Americans on TikTok.”

"TikTok might still subsist in some form in the U.S. market."

"Half of Americans think it’s very or somewhat unlikely that TikTok will be banned in the U.S."

A vote for Trump will "save Tik Tok in America"

"So bottom line, it looks like this court [SCOTUS] is ready to rule against TikTok."

"My prediction, from listening to Supreme Court oral arguments, is that a majority of the court, at least, will uphold the law."

"[T]he court is most likely to nonetheless allow that regulation [banning TikTok]."

Will TikTok Be Banned or Sold?

TikTok announced on Friday that it has reached a deal to establish a majority American-owned joint venture (JV) to run its U.S. operations and secure U.S. data. The deal marks a major milestone for the short-form video app after years of regulatory and legal battles.

Under the terms of the agreement, ByteDance will retain 19.9% ownership of the new U.S. entity, while Oracle, Silver Lake and MGX will each hold 15% stakes. The JV will be governed by a seven-member board of directors, with a majority of them Americans.

The JV will retrain, test and update the content recommendation algorithm on U.S. user data, with the algorithm secured in Oracle's U.S. cloud environment. U.S. user data will be protected in Oracle's secure U.S. cloud environment under a data privacy program.

Adam Presser will serve as CEO of the JV, with TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew, who stated in December that the new entity will control data protection, serving as a board director. The safeguards provided by the JV will also cover U.S. apps like CapCut and Lemon8.

The deal was brokered by President Donald Trump to comply with a 2024 law signed by former President Joe Biden that required ByteDance to divest TikTok's U.S. business or face a ban. Trump had signed multiple executive orders <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.verity.news/story/2025/tiktok-returns-to-us-app-stores-after-trumps-intervention">delaying the ban's enforcement</a>.

While White House officials previously said the deal would settle the Congress’s national security concerns, congressional Republicans have vowed to review it. While Trump has cleared it, Chinese President Xi Jinping also needs clear the new deal.

The TikTok deal is actually a complete victory for ByteDance, allowing China to keep control of the algorithm and technology while only surrendering content moderation. Instead of forcing a real divestment, this franchise-style arrangement removed political constraints from a Chinese tech champion at the exact moment it's outpacing Meta and investing billions in AI.
