The prolonged legal battle between the U.S. Government and TikTok might reach its conclusion shortly. Today, the Supreme Court validated a federal rule set to prohibit TikTok starting January 19th, unless the platform’s parent company, ByteDance, relinquishes ownership.
Today marked the final significant opportunity for TikTok to dodge a ban in the United States, but unfortunately, that won’t transpire. In a consensus ruling, the Supreme Court highlighted the app’s connections to China as a significant national security risk. Despite the technical possibility for ByteDance to offload its U.S. TikTok operations by this Sunday and thus evade a ban, the Associated Press states that they are not near any potential buyer deals at this time.
It’s intriguing that the potential ban on TikTok is set to occur when President Joe Biden leaves office on January 19. The very next day, Donald Trump, who has promised to devise a way to continue TikTok’s availability within the U.S., will take over as president.
In case TikTok gets banned within the U.S., users won’t see their apps disappear immediately from their devices. Instead, the app would no longer be available for download from online marketplaces (such as Google Play Store or Apple App Store). Over time, without updates, the app will eventually become unusable due to technical issues.
