TikTok to Shut Down in U.S. on January 19 Amid Supreme Court Ban Unless Biden Intervenes
Jan 18, 2025, 02:29 AM
TikTok announced that it will be forced to shut down its U.S. operations on Sunday, January 19, unless the Biden administration immediately intervenes to prevent a federal ban from taking effect. The popular social media app, used by 170 million Americans, is facing a shutdown due to a law banning its operation in the United States, which was unanimously upheld by the Supreme Court on Friday. TikTok stated, "Unless the Biden Administration immediately provides a definitive statement to satisfy the most critical service providers assuring non-enforcement, unfortunately TikTok will be forced to go dark on January 19." The company is seeking clarity from the Biden administration and the Department of Justice to maintain the app's availability for its 170 million U.S. users.
