ACTIVITY
Record dateThe legal deadline arrived before the new implementation plan.
TikTok can keep TikTok-ing!
Justice prepared assurances for companies keeping the app available.
Everybody loves the App, I did VERY WELL on the App (look at the Numbers!), now give me time to make a Deal instead of switching off all the People watching ME.
The app has more time. The statute still has its original text.
Seventy-five Days, beautiful little extension.
PUBLIC RECORD
Executive Order 14166, signed January 20, 2025: Directed the attorney general not to enforce the TikTok divestiture law for 75 days and to provide assurances to service providers. The order delayed enforcement rather than repealing the statute.
