À propos de cet audio
The past few days for TikTok have been a cascade of headlines, spectacle, and behind-the-scenes drama worthy of a platform that dominates digital culture. Right off the top, more than 74 million people tuned in to watch the record-breaking LIVE streams of Tomorrowland 2025 on TikTok. With over 2.4 billion views on Tomorrowland content in just two weeks, TikTok once again flexed its unmatched power in global event streaming. The Jonas Brothers marked their 20th anniversary with a fan-forward TikTok campaign, fusing new music, exclusive content, and nostalgia, making millions of fans visibly giddy. At the same time, TikTok unveiled a UK Shopping Report revealing that Brits are scrolling and spending more than ever, with some brands reporting double-digit sales spikes driven by TikTok Shop activations.
Yet, the app’s biographical milestones aren’t just about entertainment and commerce. TikTok CEO Shou Chew was spotted at the 2025 Met Gala, turning heads among A-listers and generating a torrent of memes and reels dissecting his red carpet moments. On the slightly more formal front, Shou Chew is set to visit Nepal in November to ink new partnerships, signaling TikTok’s aggressive push into emerging markets.
But Washington has again collided with Silicon Valley in a storyline that feels straight out of a dystopian miniseries. President Donald Trump, who once moved to ban TikTok, has extended the app’s U.S. shutdown deadline for the third time, leaving the next critical decision looming for mid-September. Despite Congress passing a bipartisan law to force ByteDance to divest TikTok under threat of a ban, Trump has cited “overrated” concerns about national security and data privacy but admitted the complexity is stalling any permanent solution. This created social media whiplash when the White House itself launched an official TikTok account featuring Trump himself vowing, “America we are BACK,” generating both fanfare and criticism, especially since the app went dark temporarily for millions before his latest extension.
Meanwhile, TikTok has introduced enhanced teen safety and well-being features, new family controls, and a high-profile integration with YouTube Music for seamless song discovery—moves widely seen as both goodwill gestures and strategic defense against critics. Finally, with new songwriting features rolling out, TikTok is courting creators who want credit and visibility. With so much at stake and the world watching, TikTok is shaping both online culture and international headlines—every post, partnership, and presidential tweet taking on long-term resonance in a world that cannot stop scrolling.
