TikTok may be banned in the U.S. by Sunday unless its China-based owner, ByteDance, sells the app or the Supreme Court intervenes.
The app risks losing its 170 million U.S. users, with legal experts expecting the court to allow the ban to proceed.
ByteDance has refused to sell, while President-elect Trump has signaled potential leniency post-ban, leaving TikTok’s future uncertain.
A ban would significantly impact TikTok’s revenue and small businesses relying on its platform. The app could return if ownership changes align with national security stipulations.
