Biden had already said he wasn’t going to enforce the ban and was basically just going to fine them. They never actually needed to shut down.
What normal company would pay a fine and possibly get banned anyway?

Biden should've never signed it into law to begin with.

Common sense should tell him that something Trump wanted in 2020 is probably not a good idea to sign into law in 2024... in an election year....when half the country uses and likes it.... where the Republican candidate is Donald Trump.

Biden wasn’t using much common sense the past 3 years.

“I may not do the deal. I may do the deal. TikTok is worthless, worthless if I don’t approve it, it has to close. I learned that from the people that own it”, Trump said on Monday.

“With TikTok, I have the right to either sell it or close it, and we’ll make that determination,” he said, suggesting that “if we wanted to make a deal with TikTok, and it was a good deal, and China wouldn’t approve it, then I think ultimately they’d approve it because we’d put tariffs on China”.

The executive order effectively buys time – 75 days – for the administration to explore alternative solutions to address the app’s data privacy concerns without resorting to an outright ban. It also opens the door for further negotiations with ByteDance, TikTok’s Chinese parent company, in hopes of finding a resolution that satisfies national security requirements.
