Lawmakers seek to repeal TikTok ban even as Trump signs executive action


A bipartisan group of lawmakers is looking to repeal the recent TikTok ban just days after it took effect, introducing legislation that would undo a law passed by Congress last year that shut down the popular social media platform in the United States.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) introduced the Repeal the TikTok Ban Act on Monday, seeking to repeal requirements for ByteDance to divest from the social media platform or be blocked from U.S. app stores. The bill comes after President Donald Trump already signed an executive order on his first day in office delaying a ban on the app by 75 days, although the legality of such a move is in question.
