Biden administration looks for ways to keep TikTok available in the U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration is considering ways to keep TikTok available in the United States if a ban that’s scheduled to go into effect Sunday proceeds, according to three people familiar with the discussions.
TikTok on Friday said that it would turn off more than 170 million Americans’ access to the super popular video app on Sunday, unless President Joe Biden’s administration acts urgently to assure the company it will not be punished for violating the terms of its looming ban.
Congress last year in a law signed by President Joe Biden required that TikTok’s China-based parent company ByteDance divest the company by Jan. 19 or risk getting banned in the U.S.
The White House has looked into options to keep TikTok accessible to its 170 million American users if a ban that is set to go into effect Sunday continues as planned.
The Biden administration doesn't plan to take action that forces TikTok to immediately go dark for U.S. users on Sunday, an administration official told ABC News.
Biden won't enforce the TikTok ban set for Sunday, January 19, his last day in office. It will be up to the Trump administration to enforce the law.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden won’t enforce a ban on the social media app TikTok that is set to take effect a day before he leaves office on Monday, a U.S. official said Thursday, leaving its fate in the hands of President-elect Donald Trump.
The dust has settled, but Americans still don't know who really ran things in the Biden White House. It's clear it wasn't the president. Here are the five likeliest possibilities.
"My family and I are deeply grateful for the President's action today," Milley said in a statement to USA Today provided by a spokesperson.
There were 36 hours of mad frenzy as TikTok executives and lawyers sought and failed to get a last-minute reprieve from Biden — and then landed one from Trump.
