An executive order by US President Donald Trump not to enforce a law that banned the use of TikTok brought the app back after a legislative shutdown in January. But those 75 days in the executive order are nearly up, and three senators are now warning that ignoring the law could cost tech companies as much as $850 billion dollars. That warning comes as a Pew Research study finds that only around a third of Americans support the measure, a steep drop from the 50-50 split the ban had two years ago.
On Monday, three Democratic senators published a letter urging the President to work to resolve the ban. In the letter, Edward J. Markey, Chris Van Hollen, and Cory A. Booker wrote that, while they oppose the TikTok ban, the order to not enforce the law “was not only unlawful but also raised serious questions about TikTok’s future.”
