TikTok warned that it will be forced to shut down in the United States on Sunday unless the Biden administration guarantees that companies like Apple and Google won't face enforcement action when a planned ban takes effect. This comes after the US Supreme Court upheld a law banning TikTok on national security grounds if its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, doesn't sell it.
TikTok late Friday warned that it will go dark in the United States on Sunday except President Joe Biden's administration provides assurances to companies like Apple and Google that they will not face enforcement actions when a ban takes effect.
“Unless the Biden Administration immediately provides a definitive statement to satisfy the most critical service providers assuring non-enforcement, unfortunately TikTok will be forced to go dark on January 19,' TikTok said in a statement. Following the US Supreme Court's decision, the incoming president, Donald Trump, in a post on social media said the Supreme Court decision was expected, and everyone must respect it.
