TRUMP Lets TikTok Comeback to Find 'BUYER' -Suggests Deal Already in The Works
TIKTOK BAN; Supreme Court Upholds TikTok BAN Starting TOMORROW 19 January
US TikTok BAN Looms as TRUMP Seeks Last-Ditch Solution - BUT Supreme Court Doesnt Support Him
MailOnline 18 JAN 2025
TikTok says it will go dark in the United States on Sunday, threatening access to the app for 170 million users, unless the government provides assurances that a law mandating its sale or ban won't be used to punish service providers.
After months of legal tussles, the US Supreme Court on Friday upheld a law that would ban the popular video-sharing platform in the name of national security, unless its Chinese owners reach an 11th-hour deal to sell it to non-Chinese buyers by Sunday.
Only months after overwhelmingly backing the law, lawmakers and officials were now fretting about the ban, with all eyes on whether US President-elect Donald Trump can swoop in and find a way to save the app.
From teenage dancers to grandmothers sharing cooking tips, TikTok has been embraced for its ability to transform ordinary users into global celebrities when a video goes viral.
It is also appreciated by Trump, who has credited the app with connecting him to younger voters, contributing to his election victory in November.
Trump discussed TikTok with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday and said he would need more time to find a solution.
The administration of outgoing President Joe Biden, who leaves office on Monday, has said it will leave the matter to Trumps incoming government.
After the court defeat, TikTok CEO Shou Chew appealed to Trump, thanking him for his commitment to work with us to find a solution
TikTok has been lobbying furiously to thwart the laws implementation, with Chew set to attend Trumps inauguration on Monday
