What happened
TikTok will be banned in the United States from Sunday according to a law that was adopted with a broad two -party support last year. The law gave Tiktok’s Chinese parent company, Bythadance, until January 19 to sell the popular app to an American company at a national security site.
Who said what
“Excludes a Supreme Court infringement or any 11-hour movement of the Biden administration,” Tiktok “planning to get dark in the United States” at midnight Saturday, Wall Street Journal said. President Joe Biden does not plan to enforce the ban on his last all day in the officesaid an official in the White House on Thursday. “Considering the time when it comes into force during a weekend holiday one day before the inauguration, it will be up to the next administration to implement” the law.
