A bipartisan bill banning TikTok was passed by Congress and signed into law by Biden last year. While Trump previously called for a ban on the app due to its ties to the Chinese government, he has more recently been opposed to the ban and indicated that he will seek to reverse it.

The White House on Saturday called TikTok’s statement warning that it will “go dark” on Sunday unless President Biden steps in a “stunt,” arguing the app doesn’t have to take action

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

The Supreme Court ruled on Friday, Jan. 17, to uphold a law that would ban the app for the 170 million people who use the app in the U.S. The ruling lines up with decisions other courts have made and sets up the ban to go into effect on Sunday, Jan. 19.

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.

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.

Plus, Trump’s Cabinet picks make quick work of their confirmation hearings and TikTok teeters on the brink in this week’s 3-Minute Read from Jen Psaki.

WASHINGTON (AP) — 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 on Monday, a U.S. official said Thursday, leaving its fate in the hands of President-elect Donald Trump.

Biden signed a bipartisan bill last year that outlined the platform would be banned in the US unless its Chinese-owned parent company divested by Jan. 19.

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

Biden administration looks for ways to keep TikTok available in the U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration is considering ways to keep TikTok available in the United States if a ban that’s scheduled to go into effect Sunday proceeds, according to three people familiar with the discussions.
