TikTok Shutdown in US Imminent? ‘Will Be Forced To Go Dark on January 19 if Biden Administration Doesn’t Intervene’, Says ByteDance-Owned App After Supreme Court Upheld Ban
TikTok warns of a shutdown in the U.S. by January 19, citing the Supreme Court's upheld ban. The platform, owned by ByteDance, urges the Biden administration to intervene to prevent the closure.
TikTok has issued a critical warning about its potential shutdown in the United States, citing a lack of clear assurances from the Biden administration and the Department of Justice. In an official statement released on social media, the platform, which boasts over 170 million users in the U.S., expressed frustration over the administration's failure to provide necessary clarity to its key service providers. The platform emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating that unless the government delivers a definitive statement guaranteeing non-enforcement of any potential restrictions, TikTok will be forced to suspend operations by January 19. The warning follows ongoing scrutiny of TikTok by U.S. officials over concerns related to data security and its ties to China.
