Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Thursday called for a looming TikTok ban to be delayed to give the social media company more time to find an American buyer. “We aren’t against TikTok.

The TikTok ban has sparked debate across political, business, and user communities, with supporters citing national security risks and critics pointing to the app’s role in supporting the digital economy. As the deadline nears, the push for an American buyer remains central to efforts to mitigate the controversy.

WASHINGTON (TNND) — Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Thursday called on his Senate colleagues to extend the deadline for a U.S. ban of popular social media app TikTok, saying there is still time to come to a “workable solution.”
