President Biden will not enforce a ban on TikTok that is set to take effect Sunday, a U.S. official said, leaving its fate to Donald Trump.
President Joe Biden appears to be backpedaling on the TikTok ban he signed last year. His administration is now saying it won’t enforce the law that will boot the popular platform from app stores, which is scheduled to begin on Sunday, the day before he leaves office.
As a ban looms over the social media app and its 170 million users, TikTok said it will be “forced to go dark” on Sunday unless the Biden administration explicitly declares that it will not enforce the ban.
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.
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,
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.
