Prof. Alan Rozenshtein Quoted by Salon.com About TikTok Being Granted Another Reprieve

Professor Alan Rozenshtein was quoted by Salon.com about Donald Trump on Friday granting TikTok another reprieve by announcing that he would extend the deadline for when the popular app had to make a deal to be separated from its Chinese owner, ByteDance, or face a ban in the United States. TikTok, which had been facing a Saturday deadline for a deal, now has another 75 days to find a new owner to comply with a federal law that requires it to change its structure to resolve national security concerns. But legal experts say the law only allows for one 90-day extension of the deadline if a deal has been made and Congress has been notified. Prof. Rozenshtein said, “All he's doing is saying that he will not enforce the law for 75 more days. The law is still in effect. The companies are still violating it by providing services to TikTok.”
