TikTok is preparing to go dark for U.S. users this Sunday if the Supreme Court does not grant its emergency appeal to halt a law that will ban the app unless Chinese parent ByteDance divests its stake, according to reports.
TikTok is in danger of being banned in the U.S. under a federal law set to take effect Sunday, Jan. 19, unless the Supreme Court grants an injunction blocking it. On Wednesday, the court did not issue a ruling in the matter.
At this point, TikTok plans an "immediate" shut down of the app for U.S. users unless the Supreme Court grants a reprieve, The Information reported, citing anonymous sources. Reuters also reported on TikTok's preparations to suspend service for American users in the absence of a favorable Supreme Court ruling.
If the ban goes into effect Jan. 19, TikTok users will see a pop-up message in the app directing them to a website with information about the ban, per the Reuters report. In addition, TikTok plans to give users an option to download their data, according to the report.

Politics is so supercharged in its cyclical structure now, that instead of decades, libs and cons will interchange positions with each other in a matter of 3 to 4 years
5 years ago at the height of the pandemic and "misinformation" clampdown, as cons were breaking away from social media and forming their own niche forums, libs were gloating they wouldn't survive a year.
Today it's the complete opposite.
As for the COOM, the COOM would like nothing more than the internet going back to a million unconnected fractured forums once again.
Death to social media giants
