#BidenAdministration #TikTok #USOperations #SocialMedia #Legislation #TechPolicy #Ownership
According to Odaily, a Biden administration official has stated that the government does not intend to take immediate action to force TikTok to cease its operations in the United States on Sunday. TikTok retains the option to voluntarily shut down its services on that day. However, the Biden administration has clarified that it will not enforce the law that was set to take effect the day before the inauguration of the new administration. A White House official remarked, "Our position on this issue is clearβTikTok should continue to operate under U.S. ownership. Given that the law is set to take effect the weekend before Trump's inauguration, its implementation will be up to the next administration." The law does not mandate TikTok's shutdown on January 19, but if app stores continue to offer TikTok, they could face challenges, as the law grants the Department of Justice the authority to impose fines of up to $5,000 per user.#BidenAdministration #TikTok #USOperations #SocialMedia #Legislation #TechPolicy #Ownership
