Extending the TikTok Enforcement Delay
·Donald Trump·90 FR 15209
Extends until June 19, 2025, the enforcement delay set out in Executive Order 14166, directing the Department of Justice not to enforce the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act (the law targeting TikTok) or penalize any entity for distributing, maintaining, or updating the app during this period.
