Further Extending the TikTok Enforcement Delay

What it means

This order extends the delay in enforcing the ban on TikTok until September 17, 2025. The Department of Justice is prohibited from taking enforcement action or imposing penalties for non-compliance during this period, and must issue guidance confirming no violations occurred.

Expected impact

• Provides temporary relief for TikTok and its users, allowing the platform to continue operating in the U.S. for approximately three more months
• Gives the administration additional time to potentially negotiate a resolution to security concerns or for TikTok's parent company to pursue divestiture options
• Creates business certainty for TikTok advertisers and content creators during this extended grace period
• May signal the administration is seeking alternatives to an outright ban while still addressing national security concerns
• Prevents states from attempting to enforce the ban independently, centralizing control with the federal government
