The New York Times reporting that President-elect Trump is considering an executive order to circumvent the TIcTok ban.
The order would allow TikTok to continue to operate until a new owner is found. The Supreme Court is poised to decide on a federal law mandating TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the app by January 19 or face a U.S. ban.
U.S. officials have expressed concerns that China could exploit TikTok to access Americans' private data and disseminate covert disinformation. TikTok has argued that a sale is unfeasible and has contested the law, awaiting the Supreme Court's decision.
