Further Extending The Tiktok Enforcement Delay

TikTok and companies that distribute, maintain, or update it will not face federal penalties for covered conduct during the delay or earlier specified periods.

What the order does ​

• Directs the Department of Justice not to enforce the foreign-adversary-controlled applications law through December 16, 2025.
• Bars later federal penalties for covered conduct occurring during the delay or before the order was issued.
• Requires the Attorney General to issue implementation guidance and letters assuring providers that covered conduct created no violation or liability.
• Directs the Attorney General to defend exclusive federal executive 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 services, and other providers that distribute, maintain, or update covered applications.
• States and private parties seeking to enforce the federal law.
