Some U.S. lawmakers are advocating for an extension on the deadline for TikTok's Beijing parent company to sell U.S. assets before a ban takes effect.
President Joe Biden's administration said it will be up to President-elect Donald Trump to implement the ban on TikTok, which is set to take effect in two days after the Supreme Court upheld the law Friday.
TikTok said it will have to “go dark” this weekend unless the outgoing Biden administration assures the company it won’t enforce a shutdown of the popular app after the Supreme Court on Friday unanimously upheld the federal law banning the app unless it’s sold by its China-based parent company.
U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the TikTok ban, leaving the app's future uncertain. With Joe Biden set to demit office soon, questions arise regarding whether he will enforce this decision as one of his final acts.
A ban on the popular app is set to start Sunday, although the Supreme Court could rule anytime on whether to uphold it.
The Supreme Court upheld a law banning TikTok in the US over national security concerns unless its Chinese parent ByteDance sells it. Without immediate assurances from the Biden administration, the app will go dark on January 19.
President Joe Biden won’t enforce a ban on the social media app TikTok that is set to take effect a day before he leaves office, a U.S. official says.
Congress last year in a law signed by President Joe Biden required that TikTok’s China-based parent company ByteDance divest the company by Jan. 19 or risk getting banned in the U.S.
The Supreme Court ruled on Friday that the federal law banning the app can go ahead, with the ban officially starting on Sunday - but there might be a loophole for users
Popular video sharing app TikTok is facing a potential ban in the US if Biden administration does not give assurances to Google and Apple.
The possibility of the U.S. outlawing TikTok kept influencers and users in anxious limbo during the four-plus years that lawmakers and judges debated the fate.
