Providers hosting TikTok could still face penalties despite extension, experts warn

President Trump has granted a 90-day extension for TikTok to continue its services in the US, following a brief outage due to the app’s failure to sell or divest from Bytedance, amid concerns of links to the Chinese government. However, questions arise over the legality of Trump’s decision, potentially risking hosting services facing lawsuits and fines. Despite assurances from Trump not to enforce fines against app-hosting companies, challenges loom as Congress mandates TikTok’s divestment to a US firm or face a ban. The situation has left providers like Apple and Google at risk of hefty fines, prompting debates on legal challenges and implications on data security. While Trump’s relationships with tech leaders raise doubts about potential objections, the future of TikTok’s operations in the US remains uncertain.
