The Biden administration is reportedly exploring alternatives to prevent TikTok from being banned in the United States, as the scheduled enforcement date approaches this Sunday.

Administration sources indicate that officials are considering measures to keep the app operational while complying with legal requirements.

The ban was initiated under a law requiring the Chinese parent company ByteDance to divest from TikTok within nine months.

Sunday marks the end of the divestment timeline, but the law allows for a one-time 90-day extension if significant progress is shown.

For now, TikTok’s future remains uncertain. ByteDance is considering options such as disabling updates and bug fixes if the app becomes unavailable.
