TikTok has gone dark in the U.S., the result of a federal law that bans the popular social media app for millions of Americans.
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.
Biden won't enforce the TikTok ban set for Sunday, January 19, his last day in office. It will be up to the Trump administration to enforce the law.
President Joe Biden is reportedly not planning to enforce TikTok’s ban on Jan. 19, and is opting to leave the fate of the app in President-elect Donald Trump’s hands. Speaking on condition of anonymity,
The White House has looked into options to keep TikTok accessible to its 170 million American users if a ban that is set to go into effect Sunday continues as planned.
A ban on the popular app is set to start Sunday, although the Supreme Court could rule anytime on whether to uphold it.
President-elect Donald Trump, who once called to ban TikTok, has since pledged to keep it available in the U.S.
The Biden administration doesn't plan to take action that forces TikTok to immediately go dark for U.S. users on Sunday, an administration official told ABC News.
A growing number of lawmakers are urging President Joe Biden to grant a reprieve to prevent TikTok from going dark in the United States as soon as Sunday, warning millions of creators and businesses could be hurt.
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.
As the 2024 presidential race entered its final stretch, the nation’s richest tech leaders gravitated toward Trump’s side.
