The White House has looked into options to keep TikTok accessible to its 170 million American users if a ban that is set to go into effect Sunday continues as planned.

Some U.S. lawmakers are advocating for an extension on the deadline for TikTok's Beijing parent company to sell U.S. assets before a ban takes effect.

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.

TikTok became unavailable for users in the U.S. on Saturday, before a ban on the popular social media platform officially went into effect.

There are only a couple of days left until the deadline set by the “anti-TikTok bill” signed by Joe Biden last year is met. If ByteDance does not sell its US stake before January 19, it will not be able to continue operating in the country.

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.

The app’s availability in the U.S. has been thrown into jeopardy over data privacy and national security concerns.

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.

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 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.

President Donald Trump begins his presidential term. He touts plans to make America “the world’s crypto capital,” but his predecessor Joe Biden’s stance on crypto was more ambivalent.
