TikTok’s survival in the U.S. is in jeopardy, with recent reports revealing that the Chinese-owned app is poised to cease operations by Sunday, unless the U.S. Supreme Court intervenes. Sources informed The Information that if no legal action takes place, TikTok will deactivate and redirect users to a page detailing the upcoming ban.

Under the new law set to take effect on January 19, TikTok will be banned from app stores, although it won’t necessarily be removed from existing users’ devices. However, the company intends to take it further by shutting down the service entirely unless a court decision blocks the law.

The U.S. president, Joe Biden, who will be in office on January 19, has the authority to offer TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, a 90-day delay if discussions on selling the app to an American entity are underway. Reports suggest that Chinese officials have considered Elon Musk, owner of X (formerly Twitter), as a potential buyer.

As tensions rise, TikTok’s fate could be decided in the coming days, with a legal standoff looming. The decision will not only impact millions of users but also shape the future of global tech regulation.
