The Trump administration has formally lifted restrictions on the use of TikTok on US federal government devices following the restructuring of the platform’s US operations. Analysts said TikTok’s continued operation in the US after years of political and regulatory pressure reflects its deep reach among American users and businesses, as well as the competitiveness of Chinese-developed digital products.

The White House determined that TikTok no longer posed national security risks after operations were shifted to the United States.

Justice Department says the app’s new US joint venture is no longer covered by the 2022 prohibition targeting app’s Chinese parent company.
