Although the ban is not completely ruled out, it could take a while: "Despite the statements made by the President of the EC, I don't anticipate a response of the American type, nor a European measure with the same impact, at least not before the new mandate of the EC begins at the end of the year," says Luís Neto Galvão, a lawyer at SRS Legal.

ByteDance called the process initiated between the Senate and the White House "unconstitutional" and recalled the impact that the decisions of the American authorities could have on 7 million small businesses and 170 million Americans. Neto Galvão confirms the strength of the platform in the US: "It is undeniable that a significant proportion of users, especially young people, use the social network as their main source of news consumption."
