Further Extending The Tiktok Enforcement Delay

TikTok and its service providers can continue operating during the delay without federal penalties for covered conduct, while the administration retains exclusive federal enforcement authority.

What the order does ​

• Directs the Department of Justice not to enforce the foreign-adversary-controlled applications law through September 17, 2025.
• Bars federal penalties for covered conduct during the extension and earlier periods through the order’s issuance.
• Requires the Attorney General to issue implementation guidance and letters assuring providers that covered conduct creates no statutory violation or liability.
• Directs the Attorney General to defend the Executive Branch’s exclusive enforcement authority against attempted state or private enforcement.

Who it affects ​

• TikTok and other entities covered by the foreign-adversary-controlled applications law.
• App stores, hosting providers, and other services that distribute, maintain, or update covered applications.
• States and private parties seeking to enforce the law.
