      About 6 months ago, legislation was passed mandating tiktok be sold to an american company. Biden signed the legislation but declined to force the sale, Trump has continued to not enforce the sale while adding his dramatic flair and likely looking for kickbacks as well. Basically no one is willing to take the massive hit that would come from actually enforcing the ban.
