In TikTok's case it could give Congress time to consider a new bill that would give ByteDance another 270 days to find an American buyer before being shut down.

The app says it will shut down Sunday unless the sitting president can assure tech companies that he won’t enforce the law.

A ban on the popular app is set to start Sunday, although the Supreme Court could rule anytime on whether to uphold it.

Congress last year, in a law signed by Biden, required that TikTok's China-based parent company ByteDance divest the company by January 19, a day before the presidential inauguration.

President Biden will leave the TikTok ban decision to President-elect Trump, despite a pending law requiring ByteDance to divest.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Biden administration will not take action on the US TikTok ban, leaving it in the hands of Donald Trump, a report claims.

The law raises national security concerns over TikTok’s ties to China, and only President Biden has the authority to grant a 90-day extension, though the White House suggests this will likely fall to the next administration.
