    From TFA:

    The law banning TikTok, which was scheduled to go into effect Sunday, allows the president to grant a 90-day extension before the ban is enforced, provided certain criteria are met.

    Also:

    After the Supreme Court greenlit the law on Friday, the Biden administration issued a statement saying it would not enforce the ban, leaving that responsibility to Trump.

    Though some Senators contradict that.

    Sens. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., and Pete Ricketts, R-Neb., also issued a statement celebrating the ban, and saying they don’t see a basis for an extension like Trump has proposed.

    "Now that the law has taken effect, there’s no legal basis for any kind of ‘extension’ of its effective date. […]

    So, we have to let the law play out. It doesn’t yet seem like we’re abandoning the rule of law at this point.

      What is TFA? EDIT: The Fucking Article, I assume.

      The law banning TikTok, which was scheduled to go into effect Sunday, allows the president to grant a 90-day extension before the ban is enforced, provided certain criteria are met.

      First I’ve ever heard of this. I wish the article explained what the criteria were.
