Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court to postpone a law that could force TikTok to either sell itself or be banned in the U.S. He wanted this delay so he could take action once he returns to the White House.
On Friday, the Supreme Court decided not to block a federal law that could lead to TikTok being banned in the U.S. as soon as this weekend if the app does not separate from its Chinese ownership.
This unanimous decision is a significant setback for TikTok and raises serious questions about its future, especially with the deadline for divestiture just two days away. Donald Trump, who is set to be inaugurated the following day, has promised to do what he can to “save” the app.
