Extend the TikTok Deadline Act

AI-Generated Summary

Updated November 24, 2025 at 3:34 AM UTC

The Extend the TikTok Deadline Act updates an existing law that requires the video‑sharing app TikTok to be sold to a U.S. entity to avoid a ban. It lengthens the required sale deadline from about nine months to roughly eighteen months, giving the company additional time to find a U.S. buyer. The change primarily affects TikTok, its current owners, and U.S. users of the app.

Key Provisions

Changes the deadline in the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act from 270 days to 540 days, giving TikTok more time to be sold to a U.S. owner before a ban could be imposed.
