A behind-the-scenes 11th-hour White House effort is underway to prevent TikTok from going dark on Americans’ phones as early as Sunday, according to a new report.
President Joe Biden’s administration is said to be “exploring options” on ways to see through the ban ordered by lawmakers in a way that does not result in the widely popular app downloaded by millions of U.S. users going down on Jan. 19.
“Americans shouldn’t expect to see TikTok suddenly banned on Sunday,” an administration official said, according to NBC News.
