TikTok Threatens Shutdown on Sunday Without Firm Assurances

TikTok has announced that it will block access for more than 170 million Americans on Sunday unless it receives assurance from the Biden administration about a ban. The Supreme Court has upheld a contentious ban, mandating TikTok to be sold to American buyers by Sunday to avoid the ban. The Biden administration has signaled that enforcement of the ban will be deferred to President-elect Donald Trump, who assumes office on Monday. TikTok has stated that without a clear guarantee from the Biden administration, it will be compelled to cease operations on January 19.
