Biden administration has no plans to fine companies if TikTok ban goes into effect

The Biden administration has decided to defer implementation of the law banning TikTok to the incoming Trump administration.

The move is aimed at trying to ensure there is no disruption in TikTok users’ access to the app in the U.S. It comes as the Supreme Court could rule anytime on whether to uphold the ban.

The White House has been under pressure to stop a ban from going into effect.

That would allow China to know where a U.S. user of TikTok might be, what other apps they might be using, what their personal preferences are, any messages they exchange, and many other data points, officials have said in past briefings on the matter. The second threat U.S. officials have cited is that China could manipulate the app’s content algorithms to shunt anti-Chinese government views or promote views to the benefit of the Chinese government in ways that would not be readily apparent to most users..
