TikTok faces a deadline that requires the company being spun off from its Chinese parent, ByteDance.
The deadline comes from an executive order President Donald Trump signed on Aug. 14. But the order doesn’t specify any penalties or consequences if the deadline is breached. Though Trump has tentatively approved a deal involving TikTok that may satisfy him, it isn’t final yet. With the Nov. 12 deadline mere hours away, TikTok filed an emergency petition on Nov. 10 to pre-empt it.
