Biden won't enforce TikTok ban after signing law last year, leaving fate to Trump: official

President Joe Biden will not seek to enforce the ban on the popular social media platform TikTok that is slated to take effect on Jan. 19 due to legislation passed last year, the Associated Press reported, citing a U.S. official.

"Our position on this has been clear: TikTok should continue to operate under American ownership. Given the timing of when it goes into effect over a holiday weekend a day before inauguration, it will be up to the next administration to implement," a White House official noted in a statement, according to ABC News.

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House on Friday but did not receive a comment in time for publication.
