Trump administration officials are now free to post and endlessly scroll TikTok, a new memo from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) says. The memo is the latest move from the federal government formally undoing a 2022 law that banned the app from most government-issued devices. The OMB memo cites an earlier opinion from the Justice Department, which said the 2022 law no longer applies because the current version of TikTok has American owners and relies on a different recommendation algorithm than the app that operated under Byte Dance.

The memo ends what's among the last vestiges of the TikTok bans. The app was banned from most federal government devices in 2022 amid rising concerns about its parent company's ties to China. Government officials under then-President Joe Biden said the app posed a national security threat, though the exact nature of the risk was the subject of intense debate.

The app briefly went dark in the US last year after President Biden passed a law requiring Byte Dance to sell the app to American owners or face a ban. The app came back online as Trump took office, and a deal to spin off the US version of the app was finalized earlier this year. The US version is now controlled by TikTok USDS Joint Venture, with investors including Oracle and Silver Lake. Byte Dance maintains a 19.9 percent stake. Some federal agencies, including the Department of Transportation, have already begun posting on TikTok from official accounts.
