Banned or not? Ask us your questions about TikTok in America

What do you want to know about what's been happening with TikTok?

TikTok has been in the headlines a lot recently.

First it was banned in the United States, than it was "unbanned", but not completely - so what exactly is going on?

We'll be talking to the BBC's Cyber Correspondent Joe Tidy about all things TikTok soon, so if you have any questions, be sure to let us know in the comments.

A brief timeline of the TikTok ban

In April 2024, the US government passed a law, forcing TikTok's owners ByteDance to sell part ownership of its app to a US based company.

If ByteDance didn't sell part ownership of TikTok, they would face a ban in the United States.

ByteDance is based in China, and the US government was worried about the data it was giving to the Chinese government.

The message that American users of TikTok received shortly after the ban came into effect

The US Supreme Court gave ByteDance until 19 January to find a US buyer, but the company did not follow through on the United States' demand.

And so users in the US stopped being able to access TikTok on Sunday 19 January.

It was the first time the US had banned a major social platform.

However, the day after the ban then came into effect, incoming President Donald Trump promised he would give the app more time and undo the ban, and people in America were able to access it again.

So when Donald Trump was sworn in as President on Monday 20 January, one of his first acts was to officially give ByteDance a 75-day extension, which he said would give TikTok more time to find a US partner.

Asked what the action does after he signed it, he said it gave him the right to "sell it or close it".
