Biden Administration Will Leave it to Trump to Implement TikTok Ban
TMTPOST -- The Biden administration has indicated it will not take immediate steps to enforce a ban on TikTok for U.S. users when it takes effect on Sunday.
TikTok may choose to suspend its operations voluntarily as a way to highlight the far-reaching consequences of the ban on its 170 million monthly users in the U.S. However, the administration has signaled that it will not actively implement the measure, which comes into force just one day before President Trump’s term ends.
This decision shifts responsibility for enforcing the ban back to the outgoing administration, leaving the fate of TikTok's U.S. operations uncertain in the final days of Trump’s presidency.
