Tik Tok is poised to shut down its app for U.S. users this Sunday in anticipation of a federal ban, unless the Supreme Court intervenes.
Unlike the proposed law, which restricts only new downloads, TikTok's plan would block all access, directing users to a ban notification and offering them the option to download their personal data.
This action follows the current administration's mandate for ByteDance to sell its U.S. assets by January 2025 or face a nationwide prohibition. With over 170 million American users, TikTok already estimated that even if it was just month-long ban, the result would be one-third of its user base leaving the app.
