After the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a law that could ban TikTok over national security concerns, President Biden stated the final decision would rest with the next president, Donald Trump, who is reportedly considering a temporary delay of enforcement
Washington D.C., January 17, 2025 – U.S. President Joe Biden commented on the U.S. Supreme Court's decision upholding a law that could lead to a ban on the popular social media app TikTok, citing national security concerns. Biden suggested that the final resolution regarding TikTok will be made by the next president, Donald Trump, after his upcoming inauguration.
As President Biden exited St. John's Church near the White House on Friday, he responded briefly to questions about the Supreme Court ruling. When asked about the decision, Biden remarked, “The decision’s going to be made by the next president anyway, so I think [inaudible].”
The Supreme Court’s decision on Friday upheld a law that mandates TikTok's divestiture from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, on national security grounds. The law, passed with bipartisan support, seeks to address concerns about potential Chinese government control over the platform and its data collection practices.
Despite the ruling, President-elect Donald Trump, set to take office in a few days, has signaled that he will take the final call on TikTok’s future. In a phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday, Trump discussed various issues, including TikTok, trade, and Taiwan. While Trump has indicated that he intends to make his own decision on the app, he has not yet provided specific details regarding the measures he might take.
Trump is reportedly considering issuing an executive order that would temporarily delay the enforcement of the TikTok sale-or-ban law by 60 to 90 days, allowing time for a comprehensive review of the situation. The final steps regarding the app's fate, including any possible ban or sale, will now be left to the incoming administration.
TikTok, which boasts over 100 million users in the United States, has faced scrutiny due to concerns over its data security practices and the potential for the Chinese government to influence the platform.
The legal battle over TikTok's future continues as the Biden administration’s stance on the matter remains unresolved, with the Supreme Court’s decision pushing the issue into the hands of the next president.
