Joe Biden has signed legislation banning TikTok, so what happens now?

A ban on TikTok is now almost inevitable in the US as President Joe Biden signs legislation banning the app unless the Chinese-based parent company ByteDance sells the app to an approved buyer.

"Make no mistake — this is a ban on TikTok," he said, emphasising that TikTok would continue to operate as the company challenges the restrictions. Since the bill was signed, several users have commented on videos on the account asking "what about TikTok" and pointing out the irony in him posting on the app he just banned.A number of US content creators on the app have been protesting the bill at Capitol Hill — others have taken to the app to express their thoughts.

For creators like him, the ban would more than impact their livelihood, the app is also where many creators have built relationships and created memories. It is unlikely legal proceedings will be complete by the January 19 deadline, so it could take a number of years before the app is completely banned.
