Now that a Supreme Court ruling upheld the ban, the company says it needs stronger assurances than what the Biden administration has offered so far to ensure that companies like Apple and Google won’t be held liable for continuing to distribute and support the app in defiance of the law.
Meanwhile, TikTok CEO Shou Chew has appealed to Trump by saying the company is “grateful” for his support of the platform.
Trump said that a “90-day extension is something that will be most likely done” during an interview with Kristen Welker from NBC News. Other reporting suggests that the incoming President plans to issue an executive order to delay the ban. Trump could say he wouldn’t enforce the ban, just as Biden says he will, but that still leaves TikTok’s US service providers, like Apple, Google, and Oracle, at legal risk.
