In April, President Joe Biden signed into law a bill that would ban TikTok in the United States if its Chinese owner Bytedance fails to find a buyer for the app within a year.
US officials have expressed concern that China’s government uses TikTok to gather Americans’ personal data for other nefarious purposes.
The Biden campaign this year also joined TikTok, which has more than 170 million users in the United States.
While in power, Trump tried to ban TikTok on national security grounds with an executive order, but the drive got bogged down in the courts when a federal judge questioned how the move would affect free speech and blocked the initiative.
In early May, TikTok and Bytedance filed a legal challenge against the law that would ban the app.
ByteDance has said it has no plans to sell TikTok, leaving the lawsuit, which will likely go to the US Supreme Court, as its only option to avoid a ban.
