The Supreme Court has upheld a law that will effectively ban TikTok in the United States starting Sunday, January 19. This decision concludes TikTok's months-long legal battle against the law, which mandates that the ByteDance-owned app must divest its U.S. operations or face a shutdown. As of Sunday, it will be illegal for app stores and internet hosting services to distribute TikTok. The app has warned that it will 'go dark' on Sunday, but the specifics of the ban's impact remain unclear. There is speculation about whether TikTok will completely shut down its services in the U.S., a move that would surprise both users and experts. The ban is set to take effect just a day before President Joe Biden's administration assumes office.
