Schumer Urges 90-Day Extension of TikTok Ban Deadline to Protect 170 Million Users
Jan 16, 2025, 09:16 PM
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has called for an extension of the deadline for a potential U.S. ban on TikTok, set to take effect on January 19. Schumer emphasized the need for more time to find an American buyer for the app, which is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, to protect the livelihoods of the 170 million American users and to prevent disruption. Senate Democrats attempted to pass a bill to extend the deadline, but it was blocked by Senate Republicans. Schumer has directly communicated with President Joe Biden, urging a 90-day extension of the deadline. The urgency stems from concerns over national security and the potential economic impact on users and businesses reliant on the platform.
