Tiktok prepares an independent version of its platform specifically for users in the United States, which is part of an urgent effort to comply with the federal law that requires the Chinese parent company to be in application, get rid of its American operations or face a ban at the country level.
according to InformationAnd a technical post, citing sources whose name has not been known to be aware of this issue, TIKTOK plans to launch the new version in American application stores by September 5. The gradual elimination of the current version of the application will be completely eliminated by March 2026 if the sale is completed.
This step is seen as a step towards maintaining the base of the huge American users in Tiktok with compliance with legal and political pressure.
This development comes amid renewed efforts by the Trump administration to impose a law signed by former President Joe Biden and invited by the Supreme Court, which imposes the sale of American Tikhak assets to non -Christian owners.
The law was passed with the support of the two parties last year due to fears that the Chinese government could reach sensitive data on American users. BYDEDANCE and Tiktok have repeatedly denied any post from this data.
President Donald Trump, who returned to his position in January, gave three law enforcement accessories. The latest, which was announced in June, pays the deadline until September 17.
Speaking to Fox News last week, Trump said that a group of “very wealthy” was preparing to buy the platform and promised to reveal the names of potential buyers in the coming weeks.
Tiktok operations in the United States were briefly suspended around the deadline on January 19, just one day before Trump’s inauguration. After assuming his post, Trump issued a law – a measure that some legal experts seen as bypassing the presidential authority – allowing the application to resume the service. Since then, the White House has postponed the deadline twice with the negotiations continuing.
In a statement following the latest extension, Tiktok expressed his appreciation for the administration’s position. The company said: “We are grateful to the leadership of President Trump and its support to ensure that Tijook is still available for more than 170 million American users and 7.5 million American companies that depend on the platform while we continue to work with Vice President Vice Vice office.”
While the US Tiktok version may provide a short -term technical solution, it does not eliminate basic legal and diplomatic challenges. Legislators who support the sale confirmed that even access to the Chinese government to user data is an unacceptable danger.
With less than three months remaining before the last deadline, the future of Tiktok in the United States remains uncertain. Whether it is possible to finish the sale, and whether it is a sword with the requirements of both American organizers and the Chinese government, they are still without a solution. Currently, Tiktok continues to work, but under intense check and a narrowing window for the solution.
