Biden punts the TikTok ban to Trump
Don’t get too excited yet.
The Biden administration says it will leave it to incoming President Donald Trump to figure out how to deal with the mess of the TikTok ban, ABC News reports. Even though Trump has offered vague promises to save TikTok, there’s still not much he can do to eliminate the huge monetary risk companies like Apple and Google could face so long as the law is on the books. We also still haven’t heard from the Supreme Court — which seemed poised to uphold the law and just said on Thursdaythat it “may announce opinions” at 10AM ET on Friday — but since it’s so far declined to pause it, the ban will at least technically take effect on Sunday, whether or not anyone else chooses to do something about it.
