They didn’t need to turn off in the first place. The Biden administration had already said they wouldn’t impose any fines.

This was literally nothing but a political play intended to give Trump a boost.

The Biden administration signed the thing into law. Of course they need to comply. And people are acting as if somehow TikTok decided to self-ban and have now un-banned. No, it's only those with the app already installed that are able to continue to use it. It's still blocked on the app stores, and will presumably stay that way until tomorrow.

Then why did they sign the law?
