Jan. 17 (UPI) — The Supreme Court on Friday voted unanimously to leave in place a law that would ban TikTok from U.S. app stores unless it s Chinese parent company divests from the platform and sells it to an American firm by Sunday.
With the law going into effect on Biden’s last full day as president, the ruling essentially turns over enforcement of the legislation to the incoming Trump administration to shut down the app to 170 million U.S. users.
