Political shifts and legal hurdles have delayed TikTok's removal, with Biden reportedly kicking the issue to Trump.

Now that TikTok has finally reached the end of its legal options in the US to avoid a ban, somehow, its future seems less clear than ever. The Supreme Court couldn’t have been more direct: the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act,

After hearing arguments on Friday morning, the U.S. Supreme Court decided to uphold the law, meaning that TikTok will be banned effective if the parent company ByteDance does not sell the company by Sunday.

As TikTok’s fate hangs in the balance, roughly 170 million users across the United States face the possibility of losing access to the app, which has become the focal point of a growing national security debate.

The U.S. Supreme Court today upheld a lower court ruling that the app TikTok owned by China’s ByteDance must sell itself or be banned in the U.S.

The Supreme Court unanimously upheld a law that could ban TikTok in the U.S. by this Sunday unless its Chinese owner sells it. The Court said TikTok's popularity made it a threat to national security.

With the ban upheld by the Supreme Court and the Biden administration leaving, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew is banking on Trump to save the app in the US.

In response to TikTok’s retaliation to the ban by going dark on Sunday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre shared a statement attempting to call their bluff: “It is a stunt, and we see no reason for TikTok or other companies to take actions in the next few days before the Trump administration takes office on Monday.

The app’s availability in the U.S. has been thrown into jeopardy over data privacy and national security concerns.

Justices reject the Chinese app’s First Amendment challenge to a federal law against “foreign adversary” control.

The company says it plans to go dark after the Supreme Court upheld a sell-or-ban law, but Trump could intervene.
