Senator Ed Markey Introduces Bill To Delay TikTok Ban Deadline

Senator Ed Markey is fighting to stop a potential TikTok ban in the United States.

On Monday, the Massachusetts Democrat introduced the Extend the TikTok Deadline Act, aiming to prevent the platform’s shutdown, which could disrupt the lives of 170 million American users.

Markey warns that the “stakes are high,” as a sudden ban would upend a "one-of-a-kind informational and cultural ecosystem.” He has proposed extending the deadline by 270 days.
