TikTok, the app loved by 170 million Americans, faces a dark deadline this Sunday as a nationwide ban looms. With the clock ticking, users may soon be greeted not by viral dances but by a pop-up announcing the platform’s shutdown.
The Supreme Court’s decision will determine if TikTok survives in the U.S., where a controversial law demands its Chinese parent, ByteDance, sell off its U.S. assets or face the ban. If enforced, the app will go offline, leaving millions disconnected and affecting global operations reliant on U.S. infrastructure. TikTok plans to allow users to download their personal data as the platform braces for a possible blackout. Meanwhile, calls for executive intervention and legal delays grow louder, as the platform argues the ban infringes on free speech rights.
