TikTok Halts U.S. Operations Following Supreme Court-Backed

The app, used by 170 million Americans, went offline as the Biden-signed law enforcing a divestment or ban took effect, while President-elect Trump signals a possible reprieve.

• TikTok shut down its services late Saturday night, displaying a message to U.S. users citing the enforcement of a federal law banning the app due to national security concerns.
• The Supreme Court unanimously upheld the law requiring TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to divest its U.S. operations or face a ban, rejecting free speech arguments from the company.
• President-elect Donald Trump has indicated he will consider a 90-day extension to the divestment deadline after taking office on Monday, though details remain uncertain.
• Apple and Google removed TikTok from their app stores, and internet service providers face penalties if they continue hosting the app under the current law.
• TikTok's future in the U.S. remains unclear, with no immediate buyer for its U.S. operations and ongoing concerns about its ties to the Chinese government.
