TikTok could get a 270 day extension to make a deal

SMRTR summary

Senator Ed Markey's proposed bill seeks to extend TikTok's divestment deadline from ByteDance by 270 days. The Extend the TikTok Deadline Act would provide more time to avoid a U.S. ban while maintaining original requirements. Although Markey voted for the initial ban, he now argues that many Americans rely on TikTok for social connections and income. The Supreme Court is expected to rule on the ban's constitutionality soon, with predictions leaning against TikTok.
