The US ban on TikTok is About to be postponed With the deadline falling on the MLK Day weekend, the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump intends to find a way to extend the deadline, Bloomberg reports.
Biden officials believe that the issue concerns the incoming Trump administration, as the current administration does not plan to intervene before the January 19 ban deadline. One official told Bloomberg that users should not expect the social network to shut down on Sunday.
Michael Waltz, Trump’s incoming national security adviser, told Fox News’ Fox and Friends that the incoming administration will put measures in place to prevent TikTok from going dark. Trump also reported, The Washington Post reported Consider an executive order Once you take the position to buy more time to negotiate the sale or find another solution.
While it was Trump who made calls to ban the app during his first term, he took a different approach during his final campaign and pledged to save the app if elected. Trump has already asked the Supreme Court, which is currently considering the ban, to temporarily halt the law.
