If the administration of Joe Biden steps in, TikTok has stated that it would suspend operations across the United States on Sunday, January 19.
It would be “broke to stay quiet” on that day until the departing government produces a “final announcement” promising its “most important service providers” won’t be subject to legal action, the business verified previous allegations. These suppliers include hosting companies like Ebay and Oracle as well as Apple and Google, who provide TikTok via their application stores.
Ditch TikTok parent firm
This news follows the Supreme Court’s ruling on Friday afternoon, which maintained a rule mandating that Bytes Dance, the Chinese parent firm of TikTok, could sell its ownership share in the app. Following the decision, The words Shou Chew, the CEO of TikTok, made a video message to President-elect President Donald Trump, but he did not specify what steps the firm will take once the law goes into force at midnight on Saturday.
The next chapter of TikTok is still up in the air because the White House has stated that it would let Trump himself decide the app’s destiny, despite Mr. Trump’s commitment to keep it alive. Trump, who will take office on the next day, 20 January, disclosed on Friday that he had spoken with Chinese President Xi Jinping on “weighing trade, a drug called TikTok, and numerous other topics.”
Law Department supports TikTok Ban
The United States Department of Law, which is in charge of implementing the TikTok ban, has also reiterated its backing for the action. For U.S. suppliers that continue to supply access to the app, the prohibition entails fines of five thousand dollars per person.
Conclusion
However, TikTok will have to go dark on January 19 unless the administration of Joe Biden promptly issues a clear declaration to appease the most significant service providers guaranteeing non-enforcement.
