LGBT Tech Statement on Legislation to Extend TikTok Ban Deadline

LGBT Tech supports the just-introduced Extend the TikTok Deadline Act, which delays the TikTok ban deadline by 270 days to allow Congress a full and meaningful discussion about the impact of the ban. This legislation reflects a more thoughtful approach to addressing concerns around security and privacy without cutting off the millions of LGBTQ+ users, viewers, and creators who have found community and connection on TikTok. We urge Congress and the Biden administration to support this extension, and we commend Senators Markey, Wyden, Booker, and Representative Khanna for listening to the voices of marginalized groups and for their leadership in this effort.
